Not Our Kind (2018)
Kitty Zeldis
"Kitty Zeldis shakes open a map of postwar New York City and draws the reader right down onto its streets and into the lives of the women who walk them. Her characters button up their coats and march their way through that decade’s particular disastersthe polio epidemic, religious prejudice, class divisions, generalized misogynydetermined to locate power and happiness for themselves and the ones they love. Not Our Kind is a beautiful and compelling read."
