The Guineveres

In Sarah Domet's debut novel, four girls named Guinevere—Vere, Gwen, Ginny, and Win—forge a profound bond at The Sisters of the Supreme Adoration convent, each carrying her own heart-wrenching backstory. As they navigate the trials of their plain and secluded lives, the girls, known collectively as The Guineveres, grow weary of waiting for the future promised by the nuns. When four comatose soldiers from an impending war arrive, the girls see a glimmer of hope that might offer them a way out. Domet's beautifully crafted prose explores the complexities of girlhood and the transition to adulthood, intertwining the girls' lives with the tales of female saints.
