With her retelling of the Patty Hearst affair, Lola Lafon delivers a politically radical novel that explores how society views women who set out in search of freedom –and get it.

February 1974: Patricia Hearst, granddaughter of the famous American publishing magnate, is kidnapped by a revolutionary group whose ranks she soon joins. Three women, each of a different generation, find themselves defined by this pivotal event, their lives hijacked as they return, time and again, to grapple with its lasting consequences.
