I almost didn't pick up The Myth Of Surrender because it was out of my comfort zone genre-wise. However, I am so glad that I decided to read this title because it was absolutely fantastic. The author's writing was beautiful and the story itself was both thought-provoking and heartwrenching. The story follows two young women who become close friends after meeting at a religious maternity home. There was a strong theme of body autonomy versus religious values, which is just as relevant in today's world as it was when this book was set.  Once I started the story, I could not put it down. This will be a title that I recommend to everyone, regardless of whether they usually read historical fiction or not.
