The Weird Girl Chronicles: A Novel of Uncomfortable Truths and Fascinating Women

A woman returns to her dead mother's house and finds a box labeled The Weird Girl Chronicles. Inside are twelve letters from twelve women who refuse to be likable, refuse to be tamed, and refuse to be forgotten.

A woman who counts everything. A woman who loves her rapist. A woman who cannot be touched. A woman who eats glass. A woman who sees ghosts. A woman who doesn't want children. A woman who is too loud. A woman who falls in love with a building. A woman who wants to be a man. A woman who is never sorry. A woman who becomes a statue. A woman who is a wolf.

As Greta reads their confessions, she begins to recognize herself in their strangeness. And she begins to understand that her mother—silent, secretive, absent—was one of them all along.

The Weird Girl Chronicles is a darkly intimate, unflinchingly honest novel about women who refuse to be palatable. For readers of Ottessa Moshfegh, Sayaka Murata, and Melissa Broder, this is a book that cuts deep and stays there.

You will not always like these women. You will not always agree with them. But you will not look away.
