Topical Page-Turner

yesteryear

Does a trip back in time change the present?

It’s the age of influencers, and Natalie Heller Mills posts daily to her 8 million followers—highlighting her charming farmhouse life, which she shares with her cowboy husband and their six children. Natalie practices the lifestyle of a traditional wife and gains followers by the minute in doing so. However, one morning, she wakes up in the 19th century and is forced to confront the way of life she promotes on social media.

Caro Claire Burke’s debut novel, Yesteryear, veers between being a dark satire and a psychological thriller, while exploring faith, fame, tradition and womanhood. I found it to be quite the page-turner. It is controversial, yet enticing, and it has, ironically, gained recognition across social media.
