Description: "Dawson's thriller is a surprising, exhilarating journey of three generations of women navigating a changing world." -- The Washington Post "Every summer needs a superb thriller, and this is it.

It's impossible not to read." -- The New York Times Book Review "Enthusiastically suggest to readers who enjoyed the table-turning feminism of Naomi Alderman's The Power , the band-of-survivors theme in Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven , and the emotional journey of Victor LaValle's The Changeling.
