FEBRUARY Book of the MonthThe Alternatives by Caoilinn Hughes
Complex, witty and bittersweet, this Irish masterpiece swirls around subjects like the climate crisis, class, and political representation.
We follow four estranged sisters who were forced into adulthood too soon after their parents' tragic deaths. Now in their thirties, they lead separate, successful lives until Olwen, the eldest, suddenly vanishes. When they find her living in isolation in rural Ireland, the sisters are forced to confront past wounds, present struggles, and the complexities of their bond. Both sharp and hopeful, this novel is a witty, moving exploration of family, identity, and reconciliation.
