![]() A Year in Her Life by Alice Benson is contemporary women’s fiction that reads like a memoir. The novel is an exploration of love, loneliness, sexual identity, friendships, and the often crushing weight of adult responsibilities. It’s set in an urban area during the 2016 election. The novel’s protagonist is Bonnie, a young woman who is conflicted in her professional life as she starts a new job at the Transitions House, a women’s shelter. Her job consists of writing grants, and planning fundraisers. The description of her waiting for an interview introduces the reader to who she is; it gives a little glimpse at her character: Reviewed by: Carole W |
