About this listen
When Haze Evans first appeared in the small-town newspaper, she earned fans by writing a story about her bachelor uncle who brought a Queen of the Rodeo to Thanksgiving dinner. Now, 50 years later, when the beloved columnist suffers a massive stroke and falls into a coma, publisher Susan McGrath fills the void (temporarily, she hopes) with Haze's past columns, along with the occasional reprinted responses from readers. Most letters were favorable, although Haze did have her trolls; one Joseph Snell in particular dubbed her "liberal" ideas the "chronicles of a radical hag."
Framed by news stories of half a century and annotated with the town's chorus of voices, Haze's story unfolds, as do those of others touched by the Granite Creek Gazette.
With her customary warmth and wit, Lorna Landvik summons a lifetime at once lost and recovered, a complicated past that speaks with knowing eloquence to a confused present. Her topical but timeless Chronicles of a Radical Hag reminds us - sometimes with a subtle touch, sometimes with gobsmacking humor - of the power of words and of silence, as well as the wonder of finding in each other what we never even knew we were missing.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

Jane Neal, a local fixture in the tiny hamlet of Three Pines, just north of the U.S. border, has been found dead in the woods.

Lone Stars follows the arc of four generations of a Texan family in a changing America. Julian Warner, a father at last, wrestles with a question his husband posed: what will you tell our son about the people you came from, now that they're gone? Finding the answers takes Julian back in time to Eisenhower's immigration border raids, an epistolary love affair during the Vietnam War, crumbling marriages, queer migrations to Cambridge and New York, up to the disorienting polarization of Obama's second term.

With her trusty German Shephard RBG - Ruff Barker Ginsburg - by her side, what can go wrong? Okay, sure, bumping into her ex Scott or her former high-school nemesis Tricia is a drag. It certainly doesn't help that they’ve acquired the new hobby of shoving their recent engagement in her face every chance they get. But that doesn't mean Quinn wanted to find Tricia dead in the road. So why does half the town think she may have done it?

Hana Keller and her family run Maggie's Tea House, an establishment heavily influenced by the family's Hungarian heritage and specializing in a European-style traditional tea service. But one of the shop's largest draws is Hana's eccentric grandmother, Juliana, renowned for her ability to read the future in the leaves at the bottom of customers' cups. Lately, however, her readings have become alarmingly ominous and seemingly related to old Hungarian legends.... When a guest is poisoned at a tea event, Juliana’s dire predictions appear to have come true.

Perfect read when you're feeling down
This book is a balm for a world-weary 2022 soul. The plot is that of a comfy beach read, but the columns within the story are a review of current events from the past 50+ years. Of special interest and relevance is the column discussing Roe v. Wade from the time of its ruling, which I happened to read just a few days after it was overturned. Set in a pre-election 2016, this book helps me remember a time full of hope, even though most of those hopes have been ground into the dirt since then. I'm proud to consider myself a fellow radical hag.
I'm always a little hesitant to listen to audiobooks read by the author, but I'm so glad I took the chance with this one. Landvik has the perfect voice for this story and does a great job differentiating her many characters. It feels like being read to as a little kid by a teacher who "does the voices." I would highly recommend the audiobook over reading the book in print.

Fannie Flagg fans will love it!
I adore Fannie Flagg books and have re-read them numerous times. so I was delighted to find this author because this book reminds me so much of Flagg. I'm going to read all the rest of Landvik's books! This was such a lovely, soft read and she makes her politics go down so easy! A truly wonderful book!

A little slow to start but stay with it. Such a wonderful story!
I have loved Lorna Landvik s writing since “angry housewives eating bonbons”. Radical hag did not disappoint! I love how she incorporates important issues into her stories and helps the reader to understand through the lens of relationships. Keep writing!
