{"product_id":"when-women-were-dragons-a-novel-2","title":"When Women Were Dragons: A Novel","description":"A GOODREADS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • A fiery feminist fantasy tale set in 1950s America where thousands of women have spontaneously transformed into dragons, exploding notions of a woman’s place in the world and expanding minds about accepting others for who they really are.\n\n\"Ferociously imagined…and as exhilarating as a ride on dragonback.\" —Lev Grossman, bestselling author of The Magicians Trilogy\n\n\"Completely fierce, unmistakably feminist, and subversively funny.\" —Bonnie Garmus, bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry\n\nIn 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 Alex’s beloved aunt Marla transform but her mother did not? Alex doesn’t know. It’s taboo to speak of.\n\nForced 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; and\nwatching her beloved cousin Bea become dangerously obsessed with the forbidden.\n\nIn 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 small—their lives and their prospects—and examines what happens when they rise en masse and take up the space they deserve.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0593466578\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0593466578.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Barnhill, Kelly\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
