5 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
A powerful exploration of what a woman can be when what she should be is no longer an option In late 1970, Oliver Desmarais drops dead in his front yard while hanging Christmas lights. In the year that follows, his widow, Virginia, struggles to find her place on the campus of the elite New Hampshire mens college where Oliver was a professor. While Virginia had always shared her husbands prejudices against the four outspoken, never-married women on the facultydubbed the Gang of Four by their male counterpartsshe now finds herself depending on them, even joining their work to bring the womens movement to Clarendon College. Soon, though, reports of violent protests across the country reach this sleepy New England town, stirring tensions between the fraternal establishment of Clarendon and those calling for change. As authorities attempt to tamp down radical elements, Virginia must decide whether shes willing to put herself and her family at risk for a cause that had never felt like her own. Told through alternating perspectives, The Wrong Kind of Woman is an engrossing story about finding the strength to forge new paths, beautifully woven against the rapid changes of the early 70s.

This is a really good debut, set in the 1970s and dealing with lots of big issues of that time. It‘s a slow-burn kind of book, and I liked it a lot.

This is a slow moving novel about a newly widowed woman trying to change with the times on a college campus during the early 1970‘s. Had some issues but I enjoyed it. #netgalley.
