<b><b>Unflinching and gorgeously written, this feminist novel is important, timely, and a compulsive read. From the highly acclaimed author of the beloved </b><b><i>The Accident Season</i></b><b> comes an epic breakout novel examining the very topical and controversial issue of women&apos;s sexual and reproductive rights, which has never been higher on the public&apos;s radar. </b></b><br /><br />When Deena&apos;s wild older sister Mandy goes missing, presumed dead, Deena refuses to believe it&apos;s true. Especially when letters start arriving--letters from Mandy--which proclaim that their family&apos;s blighted history is not just bad luck or bad decisions but a curse, handed down to women from generation to generation. Mandy&apos;s gone to find the root of the curse before it&apos;s too late for Deena. But is the curse even real? And is Mandy still alive? Deena&apos;s desperate, cross-country search for her beloved sister--guided only by the notes that mysteriously appear at each destination, leading her to former Magdalene laundry sites and more--is a love letter to women and a heartbreaking cathartic journey.
