Author and NYT journalist Hope Reese in conversation - Cheltenham

‘The Women Are Not Fine’ is a feminist true crime investigation into a group of Hungarian women, driven to desperate acts, who poisoned their husbands in the early 20th century. Using archival documents, Reese pieces together the women’s real stories, their motives, and the events of the dramatic trial.
