Read
Debut novel Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke follows Natalie Heller Mills, a social media-famous "tradwife" (traditional wife) influencer whose carefully curated life is turned upside down when she awakens in the harsh reality of 1855. As she struggles to determine whether she's trapped in a hoax, a reality show or something far more sinister, Natalie is forced to confront the gap between the idyllic lifestyle she sells online and the realities of the past. Blending psychological suspense, dark humor and social satire, the novel explores identity, faith and the performative nature of both womanhood and social media.
