Author Nancy Burke Invites Us Into Only The Women Are Burning
Send us a text
In this episode we talk with Nancy Burke who is the author of Only the Women Are Burning. A classical and first book of its kind. She blends mystery, science and fabulism into her newest debut. We have a little fun discussing her writing process and what inspired the story. A story about sisterhood and searching to uncover hidden truths. A story that we could all relate to and inspire one another to indulge.
In Nancy Burke’s “Only the Women are Burning” (Apprentice House Press, October 1, 2020) three women are eclipsed by flames in a single morning, one at a commuter train, one at a school, one while walking her dog in the woods. The authorities decide the burning women are members of a cult, but when Cassandra learns her former best friend died in the fiery phenomenon she refuses to accept that explanation. A mom and former anthropologist, Cassandra finds herself wrapped up in the mystery of these fiery deaths, searching for a solution. As she delves into this strange episode in her once safe suburban New Jersey town, she must also face some buried truths of her own.
Part mystery, part science fiction, part suburban domestic novel, Burke’s “Only the Women are Burning”asks important questions about women in contemporary suburban lives. Fans of Margaret Atwood, Naomi Alderman, Meg Wolitzer, and Rebecca Solnit will enjoy this striking novel for both its poetic prose and the biting social commentary within.
