Caro Claire Burkes Erstlingswerk „Yesteryear“ vereint Elemente des psychologischen Thrillers mit bissigem Humor. Die Geschichte einer „Tradwife“-Influencerin, die sich unvermittelt im 19. Jahrhundert wiederfindet, hat bereits international für Aufmerksamkeit gesorgt und wird von namhaften Autorinnen wie Nita Prose und Roxane Gay empfohlen. Das Buch thematisiert die Diskrepanz zwischen Online-Inszenierung und ungeschönter Realität.
