While Stella Miles Franklin excelled in the literary world, her beloved sister Linda led a short domestic life as a wife and mother. In this remarkable, genre-bending debut novel, Amy Brown thrillingly reimagines those two lives — and her own — to explore and explode the contradictions and complexities of women’s roles and career choices.

Lottie Hazell's debut novel starts with what could be a rather predictable scene in a traditional comedy of manners. Engaged couple Kit and Piglet (a nickname she's had since childhood) are preparing to host their first-ever dinner party in the new home they've just purchased in Oxford. The house isn't even fully unpacked yet; instead of a dining table, they rig up a surface on a pile of boxes.

Pity the bookseller who's got to figure out where to shelve Lottie Hazell's debut novel, "Piglet." Its plot - woman learns devastating truth about her fiancé and starts binge-eating as she decides whether to marry him - carries the whiff of a rom-com, the faint pink tinge of "women's fiction," the kind of book that gets dismissed as frivolous and small, even though it deals with the topics that loom largest in real life.
