From the bestselling author of P.S., I Love You, a fiercely feminist story collection that blends fables with magical realism--perfect for fans of Roxane Gay.

In this singular and imaginative collection of stories, Ahern mines both everyday and profound situations that women everywhere will relate to. She blends magic realism with familiar domestic and professional scenes, and her heroines all demonstrate a unique ability to overcome setbacks. Both mysterious and mundane problems haunt them: One woman is tortured by sinister bite marks on her skin; another slowly disappears; a third even forgets her own name. As they struggle against obstacles of all kinds, their reality is shaped by how others perceive them--and by how they see themselvses.

Nuanced, honest, and empowering, this collection is a compelling examination of what it means to be a woman in the world today.
