Cassandra at the Wedding
This wisp of a novel hits with a resounding wallop. Dorothy Baker should roll off the tongue the way Salinger and Cheever do. Her prose cuts like glass straight to the bone, and her characterization of a disaffected bourgeoise tastes different. A staggering mediation on sisterly enmeshment. P.S. I read it at a wedding. 🙃 Thanks for the rec @james !

“I read this on Lily’s recommendation and really enjoyed it. A bracing story with an unusual, charismatic cast. Pairs well with East of Eden. Thanks Lily!”

“Iconic sister book.”

“A slender little dagger of a novel I think about every time I read something about Steinbeck’s women, Didion, Sacramento, or Rachel Getting Married. A real touchstone for many female novelists I know.”
