A sharp, intelligent, playfully transgressive novel-of-ideas that explores the way power, gender and tradition shape modern motherhood.
Rachel Yoder grew up in a Mennonite community in the Appalachian
foothills of eastern Ohio. She holds MFAs from the University of
Arizona (fiction) and the University of Iowa (creative non-fiction)
and is a founding editor draft- the journal of process.

Outrageous, gritty, smart, fun
*Sunday Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry*
Yoder's voice is precise and funny, pitch-perfect... This is a
terrifically alive and imaginative tale... an important
contribution to the engagement with motherhood that rightly
dominates contemporary feminism.
*Observer*
I've been waiting my whole adult life for a read like this.
Nightbitch is truly imaginative, utterly original, brave and
brilliant - I devoured it.
*Elaine Feeney, author of AS YOU WERE*
A deliciously untamed satire on mothering and collapsed ambition...
Yoder's descriptions of wild self-release are thrilling.
*Financial Times*
Yoder's commentary on the assorted neuroses of modern womanhood is
graceful and coolly incisive... She infuses new life into the cold,
furry flesh of the monstrous femme.
*Guardian*
