Yesteryear: A GMA Book Club Pick

by Caro Claire Burke

This playlist mirrors the unsettling yet satirical journey of "Yesteryear," blending rustic Americana with eerie, atmospheric instrumentals that evoke the 1855 setting and the protagonist's shock. The mix of indie folk, ambient post-rock, and classical pieces underscore the tension between modernity and pioneer life, while vocal tracks explore identity, survival, and societal satire reflecting the book's emotional and thematic arcs.
