The Heavens by Sandra Newman
A modern woman finds her life splintered across different eras and identities, slipping between a contemporary existence and earlier, harsher versions of herself to reckon with motherhood, loss and the limits society places on women. The novel moves fluidly through time and perspective, using historical detail and speculative elements to explore memory, agency and how personal choices are shaped by the past. It is at once a meditation on female experience and a story about trying to hold a life together amid dislocation.
