Book club picks for March

Witherspoon's pick, *Lady Tremaine* by Rachel Hochhauser, reimagines Cinderella's stepmother, exploring themes of motherhood and the pressure to be perfect. Witherspoon says readers will realize "what we thought we knew, we don't know at all". Oprah chose *Kin* by Tayari Jones, a story of two motherless girls in the South and how their lives diverge. Jones also had a prior book chosen by Oprah, *An American Marriage*. *Lady Tremaine* is described as a historical fiction novel that explores what parents will sacrifice for their children. The story highlights the corruption of power and the darker side of aristocratic life. Oprah said that *Kin* "will become a classic book" due to its eloquent and familiar writing. She felt like she was visiting family and sitting in her grandmother's kitchen while reading it.
