Evensong. By Stewart O'Nan. A novel that follows a group of women of a "certain age" who band together to help one another as they face the challenges of their golden years.

The Correspondent. By Virginia Evans. An epistolary novel, told through letters of Sybil's life. The novel explores the themes of the power of literature, finding connection, the wisdom of age and the importance of forgiveness.

The White Hot. By Quiara Alegría Hudes. A debut novel told as a letter from a mother, April, to her daughter, Noelle, explaining her sudden abandonment of her family for ten days, which turns into a decade-long absence, exploring themes of female rage, generational trauma, and the search for self-discovery through a spiritual and lyrical journey.
