23 May
Summary
- A modern influencer is mysteriously transported to a harsh 1855 homestead.
- The satirical thriller offers a sharp take on social media versus reality.
- Anne Hathaway is set to produce and star in a film adaptation.
A satirical thriller, lauded by Vogue as "daring, deranged, and cleverly written," plunges its protagonist into an unexpected historical setting. The novel follows Natalie, a tradwife influencer, who inexplicably finds herself transported to the year 1855.
She awakens in a crumbling homestead, starkly confronting the brutal realities of 19th-century rural existence. The Los Angeles Times notes the story's "bitingly funny and occasionally heartbreaking twist" on the modern social media phenomenon.
Described as "objectively off-putting" yet "bitingly human," Natalie emerges as a deliciously unlikable protagonist. This acclaimed novel is slated for a film adaptation, with acclaimed actress Anne Hathaway attached to produce and star.
