Women are written out of history. How? Patri-magic. 
The first 30 pages were challenging but once Funder dove into the subject the pace took off in succinct punchy chapters.
At its core this is about injustice in a marriage and the insidious marginalisation of Eileen, wife of a famous author whom I now am repulsed by so much I choose not to type his name. 
Funder examines the  blunt elimination of a woman’s voice from her own story and how it is to us near invisible in its execution. 
But the connection to Eileen is so finely done tears flow with hers as I read.
