The Hysterical Girls of St. Bernadette’s is not just a mass hysteria story. It is a story of sisterhood, of female rage, of a woman’s identity (as a girl, a woman, a mother, a daughter, a sister), of a woman’s voice. It is a story about finding your voice, and about listening to these voices.

This book is in equal part scary and comforting. Terrifying, but full of heart.
