“My burdens will be your burdens I am a mule and you will be, too. “A woman is a mule,” her mother tells her as a child. All of which is to say that the things we carry with us when we leave home are often heavier than we know at the time.Īdelaide Henry, on the other hand-the protagonist of Victor LaValle’s latest novel, Lone Women (2023)-knows exactly what kind of a burden she carries.
