Sanjana Satyanandais trying to recover her life. It’s been a year since she walked out on her husband, after a disagreement about whether to have children. Now, Sanjana is struggling to resurrect her dissertation and crashing at her annoyingly perfect sister’s while her peers obsess over marriages, mortgages, and motherhood. Sanjana needs to move forward—and finalize her divorce, ASAP.
There’s just one problem: her husband is missing. As Sanjana tries to track him down, she comes face to face—literally—with what her life might have been if she’d chosen parenthood. And the road not taken turns out to be wilder, stranger, and more tempting than she imagined.
A darkly funny, vertiginous novel about the dilemmas of procreation, pregnancy, and parenting, Goddess Complex is both a twist-filled psychological thriller and a feminist satire of our age.
