The Prodigal Women | 
pickA 1942 bestseller that's being republished in May. An ambitious saga about three young women and their search for love, acceptance, and success. At 800+ pages, it's ridiculously long, and yet, it kept my attention. I grew to respect Hale for believing the experiences of women deserve such serious treatment. Set in the 1920s & 30s, but not much has changed. Men can be brutes, women's sexuality is punished, and every choice comes at a cost.👇
merelybookish All the women are complicated and whether any of them get a happy ending is up for debate. I especially enjoyed some of the NYC scenes where one character goes to work. A pick (in spite of the length.) #netgalley 14mo
