'Stunning, moving, and remarkable' Nguyen Phan Que Mai,
internationally bestselling author of The Mountains Sing and Dust
Child'A celebration of complicity and love among women' Pilar
Quintana, shortlisted for the National Book Award, author of The
Bitch and Abyss'I haven't been this swept away by a piece of
historical fiction since Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet' Jess Walter,
bestselling author of Beautiful RuinsParis, 1720. The Hospice of La
Salpetriere is overrun with 'difficult' women. Halfway around the
world, on the American frontier, French settlers are in want of
wives. At the asylum, a list is drawn up: eighty-eight women of
childbearing age to be shipped to New Orleans. Among them are
Charlotte, Genevieve and Pétronille - a sharp-tongued orphan, an
accused abortionist and a rumoured madwoman. They make the voyage
over the ocean, knowing nothing of the harsh and extraordinary
lives that await them, or how they will come to love and betray
each other time and again in this wild and beautiful land.Bold,
thrilling and startling intimate, PELICAN GIRLS is a powerful
vision of female friendship, identity and desire, and the choices
women make in their unshakeable will to survive. For readers of
Barbara Kingsolver, Lauren Groff and The Book of Goose by Yiyun Li.
