Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2018 by The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Time Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, Nylon Magazine, The Guardian, Huffington Post, Slate, The Seattle Times, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Lenny Letter, and more Early praise for The Female Persuasion: "Symphonic... The perfect feminist blockbuster for our times." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Ambitious and satisfying...This insightful and resonant novel explores what it is to both embrace womanhood and suffer because of it." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Sweeping yet intimate, Wolitzer's timely saga places her characters at the heart of a new wave of feminism, one clinging to the old paradigms of protest while encompassing current politics of personal responsibility. In a complex web of friends, lovers, mentors, and rivals, Wolitzer compassionately and artfully discerns the subtle strengths at the core of these essential connections." -- Booklist, starred review "Much has changed in the feminist movement, and for all women... and this book observes those changes with a gimlet eye." --Time "Finally, a novel about a complicated relationship that doesn't get nearly enough attention: that between mentor and mentee. Full of Meg Wolitzer's signature acumen and insight." --Esquire "A novel to get excited about." --The Guardian "An intricately woven and deeply layered story that follows women who connect, yearn, chase their ambitions, navigate structures of existing power while claiming their own, and who write their own stories--stories that ignite their imaginations and, sometimes, look vastly different from what they first planned." -- Southern Living "Wolitzer spins a thoughtful tale." -- The Boston Globe "This dazzling novel about embracing womanhood and ambition is a timely read... Electric." --The Chicago Review of Books "Wolitzer tackles a litany of timely topics, from unwanted sexual advances to the underrepresentation of women in film to Gamergate-type abuse." -- amNewYork "Hurrah! Meg Wolitzer is back! And her new novel about feminism, female power, and mentorship is almost uncannily timely." -- Chicago Reader "Wolitzer has always found a way to write engrossing, smart, and breezy books that also cut to the heart of the conundrum of living as a woman in the world." -- Vulture "Wolitzer is one of those rare novelists who is able to capture the zeitgeist... A master weaver of story lines." -- The Millions "As we look more toward feminist role models, The Female Persuasion reigns. Wolitzer's ability to write nuanced female relationships makes her the perfect author to take on this topical-yet-eternal tale." -- Book Riot, "Much has changed in the feminist movement, and for all women... and this book observes those changes with a gimlet eye." --Time "Finally, a novel about a complicated relationship that doesn''t get nearly enough attention: that between mentor and mentee. Full of Meg Wolitzer''s signature acumen and insight." --Esquire "Wolitzer tackles a litany of timely topics, from unwanted sexual advances to the underrepresentation of women in film to Gamergate-type abuse." --amNewYork "Hurrah! Meg Wolitzer is back! And her new novel about feminism, female power, and mentorship is almost uncannily timely." --Chicago Reader "Ambitious and satisfying... Wolitzer writes with an easy, engrossing style, and her eye for detail seamlessly connects all the dots in the book''s four major story lines. This insightful and resonant novel explores what it is to both embrace womanhood and suffer because of it." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Timely reading as circumstances revivify the fight for women''s rights." --Library Journal Praise for The Interestings: "Remarkable . . . [ The Interestings ''s] inclusive vision and generous sweep place it among the ranks of books like Jonathan Franzen''s Freedom and Jeffrey Eugenides''s The Marriage Plot . The Interestings is warm, all-American, and acutely perceptive about the feelings and motivations of its characters, male and female, young and old, gay and straight; but it''s also stealthily, unassumingly, and undeniably a novel of ideas. . . . With this book [Wolitzer] has surpassed herself." -- The New York Times Book Review "A victory . . . The Interestings secures Wolitzer''s place among the best novelists of her generation. . . . She''s every bit as literary as Franzen or Eugenides. But the very human moments in her work hit you harder than the big ideas. This isn''t women''s fiction. It''s everyone''s." -- Entertainment Weekly (A) "The big questions asked by The Interestings are about what happened to the world (when, Jules wonders, did ''analyst'' stop denoting Freud and start referring to finance?) and what happened to all that budding teenage talent. Might every privileged schoolchild have a bright future in dance or theater or glass blowing? Ms. Wolitzer hasn''t got the answers, but she does have her characters'' mannerisms and attitudes down cold." -- The New York Times "Wolitzer is almost crushingly insightful; she doesn''t just mine the contemporary mind, she seems to invade it." -- San Francisco Chronicle "A sprawling, marvelously inventive novel . . . ambitious and enormously entertaining." -- The Washington Post "A supremely engrossing, deeply knowing, genius-level enterprise . . . The novel is thick and thickly populated. And yet Wolitzer is brilliant at keeping the reader close by her side as she takes her story back and forth across time, in and out of multiple lives, and into the tangle of countless continuing, sometimes compromising, conversations." -- Chicago Tribune "It''s a ritual of childhood--that solemn vow never to lose touch, no matter what. And for six artsy teenagers whose lives unfold in Wolitzer''s big-hearted, ambitious new novel, the vow holds for almost four decades." -- People "[ The Interestings ] soars, primarily because Wolitzer insists on taking our teenage selves seriously and, rather than coldly satirizing them, comes at them with warm humor and adult wisdom." -- Elle "In Meg Wolitzer''s lovely, wise The Interestings , Julie Jacobson begins the summer of ''74 as an outsider at arts camp until she is accepted into a clique of teenagers with whom she forms a lifelong bond. Through well-tuned drama and compassionate humor, Wolitzer chronicles the living organism that is friendship, and arcs it over the course of more than thirty years." -- O, The Oprah Magazine "Wonderful." -- Vanity Fair, Praise for The Interestings: "Remarkable . . .

Synopsis
A New York Times Bestseller "A powerful coming-of-age story that looks at ambition, friendship, identity, desire, and power from the much-needed female lens." -- Bustle "Ultra-readable." -- Vogue From the New York Times -bestselling author of The Interestings , comes an electric novel not just about who we want to be with, but who we want to be . To be admired by someone we admire--we all yearn for this: the private, electrifying pleasure of being singled out by someone of esteem. But sometimes it can also mean entry to a new kind of life, a bigger world. Greer Kadetsky is a shy college freshman when she meets the woman she hopes will change her life. Faith Frank, dazzlingly persuasive and elegant at sixty-three, has been a central pillar of the women's movement for decades, a figure who inspires others to influence the world. Upon hearing Faith speak for the first time, Greer--madly in love with her boyfriend, Cory, but still full of longing for an ambition that she can't quite place--feels her inner world light up. And then, astonishingly, Faith invites Greer to make something out of that sense of purpose, leading Greer down the most exciting path of her life as it winds toward and away from her meant-to-be love story with Cory and the future she'd always imagined. Charming and wise, knowing and witty, Meg Wolitzer delivers a novel about power and influence, ego and loyalty, womanhood and ambition. At its heart, The Female Persuasion is about the flame we all believe is flickering inside of us, waiting to be seen and fanned by the right person at the right time. It's a story about the people who guide and the people who follow (and how those roles evolve over time), and the desire within all of us to be pulled into the light., A New York Times Bestseller "A powerful coming-of-age story that looks at ambition, friendship, identity, desire, and power from the much-needed female lens. -- Bustle "Ultra-readable." -- Vogue From the New York Times -bestselling author of The Interestings , comes an electric novel not just about who we want to be with, but who we want to be .
