Book Club Meets: Tradwives and the manosphere, with Caro Claire Burke

Natalie Heller is a tradwife influencer online. She’s got the perfect life: a brood of beautiful children and a handsome cowboy husband who eat her homemade bread and jams in their gorgeous red barn. What her millions of followers don’t know is that she’s got a whole army of hidden staff and industrial kitchen appliances helping her out.

Then, one day... she wakes up in the 1800s, and is forced to live this traditional fantasy for real.

Yesteryear was our Happy Place Book Club read for May. In this chat, author Caro Claire Burke joins Fearne to talk about the manosphere, motherhood, religion, and modern feminism. Plus, what does Caro make of Anne Hathaway turning her book into a film?

In June, we’ll be reading Honey by Imani Thompson.
