Lone Women by Victor LaValle
4.0

This was a great genre-defying novel set in early 20th century Montana. It is a horror-adjacent (not too scary or gory) historical fiction novel about women homesteaders and their plight to survive in an America that isn’t designed for their success. Lone Women examines family (genetic and found), empathy, race and gender, religion, obligation, and love. One of the most unique and engaging atmospheric novels I’ve read. Highly recommend.
