2023 book 56

 Laurie J. Marks' Dancing Jack

This is an older work by Marks that was recently reissued, about a country that was ravaged by a plague seven years ago, and the three middle-aged women (a farmer, a riverboat pilot, and a toymaker) who are going to help put things right. It’s sad and dark and weird at times, but also hopeful? I had some mixed feelings about the end until I read the author's note and then I was like, well, ok. A-/B+.
