FRANCINE PROSE’s political coming-of-age tale 1974: A Personal History is framed around her relationship with activist Tony Russo – indicted and tried for working with Daniel Ellsberg to leak the Pentagon papers – and the disturbing and dramatic end of that relationship. Consent: A Memoir explores JILL CIMENT’s decadeslong marriage to a 47-year-old married man she met when she was 17, and her reassessment of their improbable but blissful marriage that lasted until her husband’s death 45 years later. In 1969, HONOR MOORE was a 23-year-old theater student studying administration. There was a lover and an unwanted sexual encounter, then in spring, an abortion. Fifty-five years later she shares her story in A Termination, a tale of the young woman who made that decision – and of how our choices shape who we become.
