Book-club questions
Spoiler note: These prompts are best explored after everyone has finished the book.
- How does the mystery of the women who vanished in 1964 reflect the ways women’s experiences are dismissed or erased?
- At what point did you begin to believe—or disbelieve—the novel’s paranormal possibilities?
- How does the book distinguish healthy skepticism from a refusal to acknowledge inconvenient evidence?
- Who benefits when the missing women’s story is treated as spectacle instead of testimony?
