From coffee shops to the commuter train, Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke is the debut novel that’s everywhere right now. Only adding to the buzz surrounding the book, the movie rights have already been snapped up in an 11-way bidding war, won by Anne Hathaway who will star in the leading role.
With the novel already dominating WhatsApp groups and office water cooler conversation, it only seemed fitting to choose it as this month’s IndyBest Book Club pick. Part social satire, part thriller, the story taps into the zeitgeist, tackling everything from influencer culture and trad wives to social media, conservative religion and feminism.
