Review by Mel on 2023-12-05
A fierce and empowering feminist thriller, The Change by Kirsten Miller is a genre-blending novel full of mystery, supernatural elements, and revenge.
In the coastal town of Mattauck, NY, three middle-aged women discover they have extraordinary powers. Nessa, a former nurse, can hear the voices of the dead. Jo, a fitness coach, has an uncontrollable inner strength. Harriet, a former executive, has a deep connection to nature and the knowledge to create powerful herbal remedies.
When the body of a young girl is found on the beach, Nessa realizes there are more victims—and together, the women take it upon themselves to bring justice where the system has failed.
Dark, witty, and unapologetically feminist, this novel gives off Big Little Lies meets The Witches of Eastwick vibes. If you love books about strong, determined women taking down corrupt men, The Change is a must-read.
