Alice Martin with Jeannie Vanasco: WESTWARD WOMEN

What would happen if women across the country began to just… slow down?

In Alice Martin’s Westward Women, women ages eighteen to thirty-five are drawn to the Pacific Ocean like it’s calling them home. They abandon their lives–jobs, families, their very selves. And once they reach the West, they vanish forever.

For fans of Emma Cline and Emily St. John Mandel, this is a hypnotic and hopeful debut novel–part fever dream, part dystopian road trip that claws its way towards a jaw-dropping finale.
