An intimate portrait of a woman who follows her husband into a patriarchal religious sect.
The Burning Season addresses the question of who are the people who end up in cults and why? And at least in this case, if not most, it’s very ordinary people with very ordinary reasons. The protagonist is someone you recognize, someone you know, it could even be you (but not me bc I’m way too interested in cults to be drawn into one!)
A quiet yet compelling read. And I love the eye catching retro-vibe cover!
Thank you to Harper Perennial for an advanced review copy.
