Review: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke

Yesteryear by Caro Claire Davis is a dark, thought-provoking debut that blends speculative fiction with sharp social commentary on tradwife culture, influencer life, and modern motherhood.

Exploring themes of religion, family, gender roles, and the commodification of “traditional” living, this polarizing novel delivers an unsettling, character-driven story that will appeal to readers who enjoy complex, unlikable protagonists and culturally relevant, conversation-starting fiction.
