<p><b>"Megan Giddings's prose is brimming with wonder. <i>The Women Could Fly</i> is a candid appraisal of grief, inheritance, and the merits of unruliness." - Raven Leilani</b><br><br><b>Reminiscent of the works of Margaret Atwood, Deborah Harkness, and Octavia E. Butler, <i>The Women Could Fly </i>is a feminist speculative novel that speaks to our times. A piercing dystopian tale about the unbreakable bond between a young woman and her absent mother, set in a world in which magic is real and single women are closely monitored in case they are shown to be witches . . .</b><br><br>Josephine Thomas has heard every conceivable theory about her mother’s disappearance. That she was kidnapped. Murdered. That she took on a new identity to start a new family. That she was a witch. This is the most worrying charge, because in a world where witches are real, peculiar behaviour raises suspicions and a woman – especially a Black woman – can find herself on trial for witchcraft.<br><br>But fourteen years have passed since her mother’s disappearance, and now Jo is finally ready to let go of the past. Yet her future is in doubt. The State mandates that all women marry by the age of thirty – or enrol in a registry that allows them to be monitored, effectively forfeiting their autonomy. At twenty-eight, Jo is ambivalent about marriage. With her ability to control her life on the line, she feels as if she has never understood her mother more. When she’s offered the opportunity to honour one last request from her mother’s will, Jo leaves her regular life to feel connected to her one last time.<br><br><b>In this powerful and timely novel, Megan Giddings explores the limits women face – and the powers they have to transgress and transcend them.</b><br><br><b>'It can be tempting to read <i>The Women Could Fly</i>, which comes in the shadow of the recent Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, and call the book timely. But the relationship at the heart of this novel — between Jo and her mercurial mother — is much closer to timeless.' - <i>The New York Times</i></b></p>
