Between blues and bloodlines, she found her own song.
The Artfulness of Women is an emotionally rich novel that explores the complexities of womanhood, ambition, and generational trauma through the unforgettable character of Bayla Szabo.
Set against the backdrop of Depression-era New York and mid-century America, the novel explores the inner lives of women—their longings, contradictions, and resilience—while weaving in Jewish immigrant culture, blues music, and feminist themes with remarkable grace.
This is a profoundly human story about the cost of dreams and the artfulness required to survive, love, and endure.
