Yesteryear
Caro Claire Burke, 2026
A sharp, funny novel about the performances women give—at church, online, in marriage—and what it costs to keep the smile in place.
The word 'yesteryear' first meant simply 'last year' before it drifted into a poetic name for any lost past.
Feels like wonder, unease and identity.
The voice policing a woman's anger often wears her own face.
A voice in my head, echoing softly: America hates angry women. The Lord hates angry women. You hate angry women. Do not be an angry woman. Caro Claire Burke, 2026
A sharp, funny novel about the performances women give—at church, online, in marriage—and what it costs to keep the smile in place.
