Another superb novel about creating a new life with a new identity is Philippa Gregory’s Zelda’s Cut. I first read it more than a decade ago and it’s still vividly imprinted on my memory, as is its lesson: that we can always choose who we want to be, and never have to let others define us.Read about the other books Hannah recommends.
