The Women Could Fly by Megan Giddings
4.0
The women of the modern world are afflicted by magic. Especially women of colour. They are witches. Men can't be witches (unless they are homosexual, or poor, or not-white). Women must be married by the age of 30.
Jo is a complex and relatable bi-racial woman trying to exist in this closed-minded world. Her insights into the people around her are engaging and the social commentary woven through the story is smart and direct. Giddings's magic realism grew on me like a delicious psychedelic fungus.
