YESTERYEAR, by Caro Claire Burke

About this event

For September of 2026 we will be reading the #1 *New York Times* bestseller ***Yesteryear***, by Caro Claire Burke. We will hold the book club for ***Yesteryear*** in our usual spot, the Piano Craft Gallery (http://pianocraftgallery.com) at 793 Tremont in Boston. Bring whatever you would like to share (optional).

They’re sick with jealousy. Because Natalie isn’t simply living the good life, she’s living the ideal—and just so happens to be building an empire from it. Until one morning she wakes up in a life that isn’t hers. Her home, her husband, her children—they’re all familiar, but something’s off. Her kitchen is warmed by a sputtering fire rather than electricity, her children are dirty and strange, and her soft-handed husband is…
