When Women Were Dragons

In a world reminiscent of the 1950s, an extraordinary event known as the Mass Dragoning of 1955 reshaped society. Ordinary women, wives and mothers, spontaneously transformed into dragons, leaving behind a trail of fire and unanswered questions. This pivotal moment challenged deeply ingrained notions about women's roles and fostered a new understanding of acceptance.

Amidst this upheaval, Alex navigates a reality where speaking of the transformations is taboo. Alex's world is marked by a more protective mother, an absent father, the denial of an aunt's existence, and a cousin's growing obsession with the forbidden. This speculative novel delves into themes of rage, memory, and the constraints imposed by society.
