For
fans of The Hours and Fates and Furies, a bold, kaleidoscopic novel
intertwining the lives of three women across three centuries as their stories
of sex, power, and desire finally converge in the present day.
Lily is a mother and a
daughter. And a second wife. And a writer, maybe? Or she was going to be,
before she had children. Now, in her rented Brooklyn apartment she’s grappling
with her sexual and intellectual desires, while also trying to manage her roles
as a mother and a wife in 2016.
Vivian Barr seems to be the
perfect political wife, dedicated to helping her charismatic and ambitious
husband find success in Watergate-era Washington D.C. But one night he demands
a humiliating favor, and her refusal to obey changes the course of her life―along
with the lives of others.
Esther is a fiercely
independent young woman in ancient Persia, where she and her uncle’s tribe live
a tenuous existence outside the palace walls. When an innocent mistake results
in devastating consequences for her people, she is offered up as a sacrifice to
please the King, in the hopes that she will save them all.
In Anna Solomon's The Book of
V., these three characters' riveting stories overlap and ultimately collide,
illuminating how women’s lives have and have not changed over thousands of
years.
