Part mystery, part science fiction, part a suburban domestic novel, <em>Only the Women are Burning </em>asks important questions about women in contemporary suburban lives.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A captivating blend of suspense, science fiction and domestic drama. The claustrophobia and tension of Cassie's internal frustrations perfectly mirror the complexity of the phenomena gripping her insular suburban community."</p><p>-- Suzanne Chazin, author of <em>Voice with No Echo</em></p><p>"Weaving impeccable research with an intriguing plotline, Nancy Burke's <em>Only The Women Are Burning</em> combines love and loss with science and discovery. It's rare when a story folds facts into an emotional roller-coaster but this novel hits the mark. From India to small-town America, from spontaneous combustion to the explosion of a marriage . . . all told in vibrant prose with poetic edges."</p><p>-- Julie Maloney, award-winning author of <em>A Matter of Chance </em>and Director of Women Reading Aloud, an international writing program for women</p><br>
