Give Me Your Hand: A Novel

"Megan Abbott’s genius lies in showing how strong women can still be caught in the web of patriarchy. In her latest novel, Give Me Your Hand, she tells the story of two female scientists whose brilliant futures are threatened by their past secrets. The best part of this slow-burning novel is that just when you think you’ve seen the big explosion, another one happens. Abbott once again gifts her readers with an unreliable narrator whose inability to foresee disaster means readers won’t guess the denouement – even with tons of creepy foreshadowing."
