THE must-read debut novel of 2019. Sharp, compulsive and darkly funny, this is an unforgettable novel about a world within touching distance of our own.
Joanne Ramos was born in the Philippines and moved to Wisconsin when she was six. She graduated with a BA from Princeton University. After working in investment banking and private-equity investing for several years, she wrote for the Economist as a staff writer. She lives in New York City with her husband and three children. This is her first novel.
Wow, Joanne Ramos has written the page-turner about immigrants
chasing what's left of the American dream. Truly unforgettable

A chillingly plausible imagination of the future of pregnancy in a
world of ever-greater inequality ... Sharply prescient, and
terrifying too
