Dear Miss Metropolitan: A Novel
Author: Ferrell, Carolyn
Publication Date: 07/06/2021
Format: Hardcover
Fern seeks refuge from her motherâs pill-popping and boyfriends via Soul Train; Gwin finds salvation in the music of Prince much to her congregationâs dismay and Jesenia, miles ahead of her classmates at her gifted and talented high school, is a brainy and precocious enigma. None of this matters to Boss Man, the monster who abducts them and holds them captive in a dilapidated house in Queens.
On the night they are finally rescued, throngs line the block gawking and claiming ignorance. Among them is lifetime resident Miss Metropolitan, advice columnist for the local weekly, but how could anyone who fancies herself a ânewspaperwomanâ have missed a horror story unfolding right across the street? And why is it that only two of the three girlsânow womenâwere found? The mystery haunts the two remaining âvictim girlsâ who are subjected to the further trauma of becoming symbols as they continuously adapt to their present and their unrelenting past.
Like Colson Whitehead's The Nickel Boys, Ferrellâs Dear Miss Metropolitan gives voice to characters surviving unimaginable tragedy. The story is inventively revealed before, during, and after the ordeal in this singular and urgent novel.
