G L Fontaine: The Cost is Always Women, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Cost Is Always Women is a work of literary fiction that examines the quiet, cumulative toll history takes on women's bodies, lives, and silences.

Told through interwoven narratives, fragments, and moments across time, the novel traces what is inherited rather than chosen: grief passed hand to hand, violence that leaves no record, and the ordinary acts women perform to endure what cannot be named.

Moving between generations and places, the book resists a single protagonist or linear arc. Instead, it offers a chorus of voices shaped by a shared, unspoken truth; that the cost of progress, survival, and forgetting is most often paid by women.

Spare, intimate, and unflinching, The Cost Is Always Women is not a story of redemption or resolution, but of witness. It is a literary meditation on memory, power, and the stories history leaves behind.

And this is their story.
