I’ve been anxiously awaiting the release of this novel since the first announcement and it delivered on all fronts. WHAT WILD WOMEN DO is a compelling and propulsive story that is part mystery, part women’s fiction and impossible to put down.
After a tragic loss, Eddie Calloway leaves her socialite life behind and returns to her family’s camp in the Adirondacks. Embracing her new role as a feminist leader, Eddie launches a getaway camp for women where she promises to help them unlock their “wildness”. And help she does, until one day in 1975 when she disappears into the woods and is never heard from again.
Nearly 40 years later, Rowan arrives in the Adirondacks looking for a quiet place where she can work on her new screenplay and her fiance, Seth can finish his novel. But when Rowan discovers one of Eddie’s old handbooks in the ruins of Camp Calloway, she feels drawn to the woman and desperate to solve the mystery of Eddie’s decade’s old disappearance.
Told through the POVs of both women in their own timelines, Eddie and Rowan’s storylines are woven together beautifully. This book has firmly cemented Karma Brown’s place as one of my all-time favourite authors.
WHAT WILD WOMEN DO is available now.
