At 47, August Monk is failing at everything - her marriage, her company, herself. Then, on a desperate family holiday in England, a sip of ancient beer at Britain's oldest brewery drops her into another world: one where women brew, heal, and commune with a vast fungal network humming beneath their feet - and where they're hunted by a patriarchal order determined to burn them out.
Taken in by Margaret, a midwife guarding forbidden feminine wisdom, August discovers what her own world never told her: the change unmaking her at home - the hot flashes, the rage, the body she no longer recognizes - is the very thing that makes her powerful here. She arrived a failure. She turns out to be exactly what this world has been waiting for.
But the longer she stays, the harder the choice becomes: fight for the found family that finally sees her, or find her way home.
In the vein of Margaret Atwood and Ursula K. Le Guin - for readers who loved The Midnight Library, Circe, and Piranesi - Thread Traveller is a luminous debut about parallel worlds, midlife as portal, and the power women gain at the age they're told they've lost value. Book 1 of a trilogy.
