Beware the Woman

"Megan Abbott writes about women and the things they need, love and fear. In Beware the Woman, a pregnant woman named Jacy goes with her new husband for a vacation with his doctor father at the family cabin in the woods. She begins to realize that something is wrong, then very wrong, as the men’s concern for her safety teeters on the edge of becoming a kind of entitlement to her body. Abbott writes gripping thrillers, and a story about how pregnancy intersects with privacy, self-determination and safety – even for women in “good” situations – could not have come at a better time."
