'Imagine that Grace Tame, happening on the late Philip Roth in his study, hard at work on his World War II alternative history The Plot Against America, tied the novelist to his chair and began a radical rewrite: shifting its setting from 1930s and ’40s Newark to suburban Adelaide of the same era, and changing the narrative so that the primary group to suffer under a concocted local fascist state is women. Oh, and she makes the heroines of her story a coven of young witches.' (Introduction)
