Kate Walbert's A Short History of Women
I remembered enjoying Walbert's previous two novels, so figured I'd give this one a shot even though it was getting middling reviews. But ugh, it was not very good. It's the story of five generations of women (who take turns narrating chapters) and what happens to them after the first decides to starve to death in the name of suffrage. I kept waiting for there to be a larger point, or a twist, or anything of interest, but it was mostly five women whining a lot. B-.
