Mesrobian, Carrie. The Whitsun Daughters. New York, Penguin Random House, 2020
“How quickly everything in the world disintegrates. Everything but the loneliness of young women.” So begins a story of three girls in a small Midwestern town, narrated by the ghost of a young Irish immigrant who, over a century earlier, lived and loved on the same small patch of farmland the girls and their mothers now call home. This story weaves the girls’ day-to-day struggles with the fractured and harrowing memories of their unseen observer. The threads of the tails are familiar: An arranged marriage. An impulsive proposal bitterly refused. Secret affairs. And pregnancies, both welcome and not. Each young woman fights her own lonely battle in the generations-long war of those who would no longer settle for haunting the margins of a world that wants to ignore them.
