Overview
"Completely fierce, unmistakably feminist, and subversively funny." āBonnie Garmus, bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry
Ā
In the first adult novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Ogress and The Orphans, Alex Green is a young girl in a world much like ours, except for its most seminal event: the Mass Dragoning of 1955, when hundreds of thousands of ordinary wives and mothers sprouted wings, scales, and talons; left a trail of fiery destruction in their path; and took to the skies. Was it their choice? What will become of those left behind? Why did Alexās beloved aunt Marla transform but her mother did not? Alex doesnāt know. Itās taboo to speak of.
Ā
Forced into silence, Alex nevertheless must face the consequences of this astonishing event: a mother more protective than ever; an absentee father; the upsetting insistence that her aunt never even existed; andĀ
watching her beloved cousin Bea become dangerously obsessed with the forbidden.
In this timely and timeless speculative novel, award-winning author Kelly Barnhill boldly explores rage, memory, and the tyranny of forced limitations. When Women Were Dragons exposes a world that wants to keep women smallātheir lives and their prospectsāand examines what happens when they rise en masse and take up the space they deserve.
