Reading This Motherless Land by Nikki May

In This Motherless Land, Nikki May returns with a bold, emotionally rich story that explores identity, belonging, and the complicated beauty of female friendship. As we step away from the drawing rooms of Austen’s Regency England and into a vibrant, modern narrative, we’ll find familiar themes of social expectation, the intricacies of womanhood, and the quiet rebellions that shape our lives. Perfect for fans of Austen's keen observation and layered characters, May’s latest novel invites us to reflect on what home and heritage truly mean—and how far we’ll go to reclaim them.
