Über diesen Titel
A gripping literary puzzle that unwinds the private lives of ten women as they confront tragedy in a small Massachusetts town.
Nashquitten, MA, is a decaying coastal enclave that not even tourist season can revive, full of locals who have run the town’s industries for generations. When a young woman dies at a house party, the circumstances around her death suspiciously unclear, the tight-knit community is shaken. As a mother grieves her daughter, a teacher her student, a best friend her confidante, the events around the tragedy become a lightning rod: blame is cast, secrets are buried deeper. Some are left to pick up the pieces, while others turn their backs, and all the while, a truth about that dreadful night begins to emerge.
Told through the eyes of ten local women, Grabowski’s Women and Children First is an exquisite portrait of grief and a powerful reminder of life’s interconnectedness. Touching on womanhood, class, and sexuality, ambition, disappointment, and tragedy, this novel is a stunning rendering of love and loss, and a bracing lesson from a phenomenal new literary talent that no one walks this earth alone.
*Women and Children First* promised an exploration of family dynamics and teenage struggles, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. Despite the many stories and shifting points of view, I found the book lacking in substance. It often left me wondering, "And then? So what?" The struggles of teenagers and their parents, particularly mothers, are relatable, but I struggled to stay engaged.
As someone who enjoys narrative and timeline shifts, I was disappointed that this structure didn’t draw me in. However, I will say that the audiobook’s narrator did an excellent job with the voices and delivery, which was the one aspect that kept me going.
