Lone Women: A Novel

$18.00
Author
Lavalle, Victor

Adelaide Henry carries an enormous steamer trunk with her wherever she goes. Itā€™s locked at all times. Because when the trunk opens, people around Adelaide start to disappear.

The year is 1915, and Adelaide is in trouble. Her secret sin killed her parents, forcing her to flee California in a hellfire rush and make her way to Montana as a homesteader. Dragging the trunk with her at every stop, she will become one of the ā€œlone womenā€ taking advantage of the governmentā€™s offer of free land for those who can tame itā€”except that Adelaide isnā€™t alone. And the secret sheā€™s tried so desperately to lock away might be the only thing that will help her survive the harsh territory.

Crafted by a modern master of magical suspense, Lone Women blends shimmering prose, an unforgettable cast of adventurers who find horror and sisterhood in a brutal landscape, and a portrait of early-twentieth-century America like youā€™ve never seen. And at its heart is the gripping story of a woman desperate to bury her pastā€”or redeem it.

But before Apollo can do anything to help, Emma commits a horrific act and vanishes. Thus begins Apolloā€™s quest to find a wife and child who are nothing like heā€™d imagined. His odyssey takes him to a forgotten island, a graveyard full of secrets, a forest where immigrant legends still live, and finally back to a place he thought he had lost forever.
