Description
Lily is a mother, a daughter, and a wife. And also, a bit of a writer—well, she wanted to be one, until she had children.
Lily is going through a personal crisis and trying to understand who she really wants to be.
Vivian is the perfect wife for her politician husband—devoted entirely to his career. But one day he demands a favor from her… too humiliating to refuse. Vivian is ready to run away from home. It will change her life.
The Old Testament Esther was a strong woman who turned the course of biblical history. But what might she have told Queen Vashti—her main rival, remembered in history as the “wicked queen”?
“V is for Lost” is an engrossing novel by Anna Solomon, in which the fates of people from different historical eras intersect in an astonishing way—showing how, over a thousand years, a woman’s life changed.
“An engrossing story about dreams, power imbalance, and the search for self-definition.” — People Magazine
“Irresistible, sexy, smart… the V. apocrypha radiates energy that will make you reread this book more than once.” — Entertainment Weekly (10 Best Books of the Year)
“Captivating, dynamic, dark, and sexy. A reflection on female strength—and, by contrast, helplessness.” — The New York Times Book Review
“Stories linked in unusual ways, with fascinating generational discussions of duty, family, and feminism. This audacious, revisionist book is based on Old Testament traditions.” — Publishers Weekly
