Women's Fiction
From the New York Times-bestselling author of The
Interestings, comes an electric novel not just about who we
want to be with, but who we want to be. To be admired by someone we admire—we all yearn for this:
the private, electrifying pleasure of being singled out by
someone of esteem. But sometimes it can also mean entry to a
new kind of life, a bigger world. Greer Kadetsky is a shy college freshman when she meets the
woman she hopes will change her life. Faith Frank,
dazzlingly persuasive and elegant at sixty-three, has been a
central pillar of the women’s movement for decades, a figure
who inspires others to influence the world. Upon hearing
Faith speak for the first time, Greer—madly in love with her
boyfriend, Cory, but still full of longing for an ambition
that she can’t quite place—feels her inner world light up.
And then, astonishingly, Faith invites Greer to make
something out of that sense of purpose, leading Greer down
the most exciting path of her life as it winds toward and
away from her meant-to-be love story with Cory and the
future she’d always imagined. Charming and wise, knowing and witty, Meg Wolitzer delivers
a novel about power and influence, ego and loyalty,
womanhood and ambition. At its heart, The Female Persuasion
is about the flame we all believe is flickering inside of
us, waiting to be seen and fanned by the right person at the
right time. It’s a story about the people who guide and the
people who follow (and how those roles evolve over time),
and the desire within all of us to be pulled into the light.
