SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains major spoilers for the novel “Yesteryear.”

It’s safe to say that Caro Claire Burke’s delightfully horrifying novel “Yesteryear” — in which the fictional tradwife influencer Natalie Heller Mills winds up transported back to the days of, well, yesteryear — is the book of the moment. 

Since its April 7 release, it feels as though everyone has either read it, wants to read it or is figuring out how to get their hands on it (If you’re a part of the latter two groups, I’d hold off on reading much more of this story if you’d like to ensure a spoiler-free experience.) “Yesteryear” is a No. 1 New York Times bestseller and a “Good Morning America” book club pick, badges of honor that are all the more impressive for a debut novel. And, good news for fans, it’s already getting the big screen treatment (the film rights were sold to Amazon MGM back in 2024), with Anne Hathaway set to star and produce.
