The SpectacularA Novel by Zoe Whittall It’s taboo to regret motherhood. But what would happen if you did? Shifting perspectives and time periods, The Spectacular is a multi-generat ional story exploring sexuality, gender and the weight of reproductive freedoms, from the author of The Best Kind of People. In her new book, by turns sharp and provocative, Zoe Whittall captures three generations of very different women who struggle to build an authentic life in the absence of traditional familial and marital structures. Definitions of family, romance, gender and love will radically change as they seek out lives that are nothing less than spectacular. Add this one to your must-read list!
