The Women in White by Sarah Pekkanen (2026), 291 pages
Riley is a recently divorced,
living out of her car caregiver. Betty is a wheelchair bound octogenarian who
is in need of help. They click instantly and Riley soon discovers there is a
lot more to Betty's story.
I am on the fence about this
one. The novel follows two-timelines: the 1960s and present day. I really
enjoyed the parts of the novel based in the 60s, especially the
relationship between the four central women who became part of a scientific
study looking into parapsychology. Unfortunately, the rest of the novel fell
flat. I think I expected more exploration into their supernatural cognitive
abilities and was disappointed that didn't happen. The present-day
relationship between Riley and Betty felt incomplete and rushed. The ending
also wrapped up too quickly. It was an interesting read, but I felt it could
have been more fleshed out.
