Miles of Books: Three Novels That Explore Women's Lives

In this episode of Miles of Books, Sarah and Ellison discuss three novels that each explore women’s lives, family roles, and the complicated ways mothers shape their children’s worlds. From the feminist awakening at the center of Meet the Newmans, to the fallout of desire and family upheaval in Lake Effect, to a fresh reimagining of Cinderella in Lady Tremaine, this conversation is full of sharp insights, lively plot setup, and plenty of reasons to add these books to your list.

Books discussed:

• Meet the Newmans by Jennifer Niven
• Lake Effect by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
• Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser
