Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke – Hardcover Satirical Novel (GMA Book Club Pick)

A biting, laugh-out-loud satire: a picture-perfect homesteading influencer wakes up in the brutal reality of 1855 and must work out whether it is a hoax, a reality show, or something far stranger. 400-page hardcover.

Natalie Heller Mills is perfect at being alive. Her rustic farmhouse, handsome cowboy husband and six delightful children are beamed daily to eight million followers who buy into her pioneer lifestyle of raw milk and farm-fresh eggs. Never mind the nannies and producers behind the camera, the industrial kitchen hidden off-set, or the political dynasty her husband was born into.

Then Natalie wakes up cold, filthy and terrified in 1855, with no cameras, no followers and no idea how she got there. Is it an elaborate prank, a twisted new show, or something much more sinister? Surviving the past will take every skill she only pretended to have.

A Good Morning America Book Club pick, Yesteryear is a bold and bitingly funny debut that skewers influencer culture and the myth of the perfect life. Nita Prose, author of The Maid, promises readers will be cackling and gasping right to the final page.
