In All Things Under the Moon, Ann Y. K. Choi brings readers from a small village in 1920s Korea to the bustling corridors of Seoul, where women and girls can learn to read and write in multiple languages and members of the revolution pass coded messages through the back rooms of teahouses. In her buzzworthy debut, Honeysuckle, Bar Fridman-Tell crafts a fantastically twisted fairy tale where magic and horror collide. And in Wonderland Road, Carrianne Leung imagines a fragile future where a community tries to survive in a world of massive disruption and uncertainty. Across speculative futures, a psychological fairy tale, and historical fiction, these three authors explore loneliness, power, and resistance through the eyes of women.
