The Women Are Not Fine: The Dark History of a Poisonous Sisterhood
Inside the Greatest Female-Led Poisoning Scandal in Modern History
At the turn of the 20th century, in the village of Nagyrév, Hungary, midwife Zsuzsanna Fazekas was more than a caretaker — she was a confidante. She helped poor women give birth; she assisted them with abortions; and she listened. Their stories were the same: husbands who drank, who beat them, who made their lives unbearable.
In response, Auntie Zsuzsi asked one question: “Why bother with them?”
She had a solution: arsenic. Soon, women began slipping this concoction, made by dissolving flypaper in water, into their husbands’ porridge, stews, and brandy. And over the next twenty years, the quiet village became the epicenter of one of the deadliest poisoning epidemics of the 20th century – according to some
estimates, up to 300 people in the region were murdered.
Why did they do it? How did these murders spin out of control? How did these women get away with their crimes for two decades?
In The Women Are Not Fine, journalist Hope Reese pieces together archival
newspapers, court documents, police records, and the vital work of historians,
sociologists, and psychologists, diving deep into the truth behind this extraordinary event. Her findings serve as a stark warning: when women in a community are pushed to the brink, the consequences reverberate through history.
The Women Are Not Fine is more than a true crime story. It’s a timely, haunting
exploration of what happens when women’s suffering goes unanswered.

Interesting concept, poor execution. I was excited to read about my country, but this book did not live up to my expectations.
There is no distinctive style or literary prowess displayed. I noted several repetitions (the word ‘display’ is used three times in a single paragraph), grammatically dubious and unnecessarily drawn-out sentences, an overuse of adjectives and em-dashes, meaning it all reads like a mediocre essay. So many useless details are included—I don’t really need to know the exact proportions of a shed to follow the story.
I also found some choices to be of bad taste. Dedicating an entire chapter to the way these women were executed and explaining all of it in graphic detail? Girl. In the context of the story—but also in general—that is extremely inappropriate.
It would have been nice to keep the Hungarian naming conventions (known as the Eastern name order, in which the last name comes first) not only because it’s more pleasing to the ear, but also because I don’t like americanising names. The role of patriarchy as the core structure facilitating these murders could also have been explored; I was waiting for the topic to be brought up, but it never was. Another disappointment.

Well researched and fascinating account of women in a small Hungarian village who took part in mass incidents of fatal poisonings. Many victims were alleged domestic abusers. I appreciated the author’s reminders throughout the book identifying the people mentioned previously. Highly recommend as a fantastic non fiction read.

Meticulously researched and documented. Thoughtful and well-written. Does not sensationalize, seeks to understand. Connects the murders of a hundred years past with current patterns of violence. I couldn’t put it down.

This is certainly something to think about. Not the poisoning people part 😅, but how oppression always has to find an outlet ( in this case a murderous one). Sigh

Such a fascinating and detailed read that I could not put it down. Girlhood ✨ with a touch of poison 💀

Pretty interesting story about a topic I would’ve never heard about otherwise. Women can kill too people…. JK but, definitely it was very intriguing to hear about why the women did it, why they chose poison specifically, and how women turn to each other for support. Why even bother with him?

Hands down my favourite non-fiction read of the year.
When women in 20th-century Nagyrév, Hungary, suffered in silence, how did they communicate their pain? There were no phones, no TV, no radios, only neighbours. They survived through huddles and hives—tight-knit, uniquely female social networks.
What these women ultimately did to reclaim control over their lives and stop the abuse was extraordinary.
Hope Reese is a remarkably talented writer and journalist. Her storytelling is meticulous and deeply researched, yet balanced. She not only captured the women’s suffering, but also explored the strain and pain the men endured during this time.
Two of the most powerful lessons I took from this book:
1) The effects of war ripple far beyond the frontlines, seeping into every home and community. We should promote peace and co-existence at every opportunity.
2) When women commit violent crimes, society often responds more harshly than it does with men. Tabloids dehumanise them, calling them monsters, witches, psychopaths, “bad apples”—as if they’re no longer fully human. This narrative conveniently shifts the focus away from the societal conditions that allowed these crimes to occur in the first place.
This book is a gripping, eye-opening exploration of history, gender and survival. Seriously recommend!

The Women Are Not Fine is a book that not only informed me of the history of women in Nagyrév, Hungary, but shifted the way I look at womanhood, trauma, and privilege.
Yes, I expected a nonfiction read that would inform me of the history of women in Nagyrév but it also sparked some realizations in me. The stories of the women in Nagyrév who were trapped in cycles of poverty, abuse, war trauma, and impossible societal expectations made me realize how much privilege and freedom I have now.
These women were not only carrying their own suffering, but also the psychological (and sometimes physical) trauma their husbands brought home for war. They lived in a world where women had little autonomy over their own lives, bodies, and futures, and where survival mattered more than morality. Hope Reese also shed light on domestic abuse during today's time and how it can drive women to kill. It also made me realize how strong and powerful women are when faced with dire conditions.
The writing was gripping and had me fully engaged the entire time. I read quite a bit of nonfiction, and honestly, I often find myself zoning out or needing breaks because the pacing can feel slow. The writing was immersive and accessible without losing the emotional weight of the tough subject matter.
It reads almost like literary true crime blended with social history and feminist commentary, while still remaining compassionate toward the women at the center of it.
All in all, this book was a heartbreaking and haunting read.

I came across this book by chance and was immediately intrigued by this part of history. What caused a group of women from a small village in Hungary to poison their husbands?
Non-fiction books are often a tough cookie. But I consider this one a medium-tough cookie. There were a lot of numbers and facts, but the story didn't drown in them.
I read a few reviews which talked about the book being insensitive or sharing too many details about what happened to the men and the women. I don't really know how to feel about this, because it is, after all, a non-fiction book about an event in history that is... pretty dark. I didn't feel like the author sensationalised or romanticised things, and that's the most important thing. A factual and truthful story is the most important in my eyes.
What interested me the most were the paragraphs that spoke about the difference between men and women. There's been quite a lot of research about how and why men and women kill. They actually found an explanation in our genetics. And, they also looked at chimpanzees. Our genetics match for about 96%, and they found similar behaviours and results. Intriguing! It is quite confronting to read about the reasons behind killing their romantic partner. Men often kill because they feel humiliated by their partner. Women often kill because they feel the need to survive. That's awful...
So, an intriguing read! I learnt something new.

May 20, 2026This was a really interesting true story. The book explores the events in the Hungarian village of Nagyrév, where women secretly poisoned their abusive or “bad” husbands over many years. What they called the ‘flypaper method’ involved women buying flypaper from the general store, soaking it in water to extract the arsenic, and adding it to drinks and food.
At the centre of it all was a midwife known as “Auntie Zsuzsi,” who acted as a kind of ringleader and helped many of the women carry out these poisonings.
It’s estimated that around 300 men were murdered, making it one of the greatest female-led poisoning scandals in modern history. I found it so fascinating because I had never heard of this case before. As brutal as it was, (and I probably shouldn’t feel this way) I could understand why these women came together to help each other while facing abuse, beatings, and sometimes seeing their children suffer too. Even more tragically, many of the women who were later taken to trial ended up taking their own lives, and it was quite upsetting reading about some being condemned to short-drop hangings. That was hard to read about.
I found the book balanced historical detail with the human side of what happened and why perfectly. I very rarely read non-fiction but I really enjoyed learning about these women and would recommend to anyone who likes true crime or historical cases.

Sabrina Dax PR very kindly sent me a copy of The Women Are Not Fine by Hope Reese and below is my honest review.
This is different to my usual reads but 2026 is my year of branching out!
This book is an account of women in a Hungarian village who were involved in mass poisonings. It delves into the circumstances of why these poisonings took place and it gets dark quickly.
I think this was well written and in my opinion it sounds well researched. There were some shocking statistics that really had me on edge and really made me think.
Overall, it’s a fascinating non-fiction read!
If you have any content triggers, I advise you to read any trigger warnings beforehand.
Thank you again Sabrina and Hope for the copy!

This is a dark and fascinating non-fiction read about a group of women who have poisoned a large number of people in early 20th century Hungary.
The book takes us through how and why these women murdered their family members (mostly men), and gives context to their motivations, living situation and status in the community.
Towards the end there is a deeper dive into the violence and what research tells us about motivation and prevalence of violence of women vs. men and how it’s carried out. There are also some views from descendants of families where poisonings have happened.
It’s a very informative and intriguing read. It’s quite short but packed full of information and was well balanced and portrayed, and very well researched. I found it a fascinating read and would highly recommend!

A good introduction into a topic I knew nothing about. This book did a deep dive into what actually happened in Nagyrév in the early 20th century. For lack of a better word women were fed up with the abuse from their husbands and turned to poison as their answer. The author broke down the key players involved and how the village as a collective got involved in trying to get rid of their husbands. Very eye opening and interesting to see how there was such a big influence and wave of poisonings not just in Nagyrév but across Hungary as a whole.
Also interesting to learn how little documentation there was about domestic abuse and how it was not taken seriously.

May 25, 2026The story is incredibly compelling but I found the writing lacking. Nothing too glaring, but there were times were I felt things were missing.
In the first chapter for example, it is mentioned that experts believe the total number of victims is around 300… but which experts and based on what?
The writing also felt choppy at times was, perhaps it would’ve been better with stronger editing. Although at often times it felt like the writing style was more appropriate for a short news article rather than a book; the story is the one driving, but while that is good for a short, few minutes read, in a book it feels like a creative or compelling element is largely missing.
I also felt like the book was very American-centric. At the end of the book there’s a chapter that seeks to explain why women kill, it’s a nice addition (in theory) but the expert and studies cited are… American, studying an US population and referencing US population… why use this if the story is about Hungarian woman? Why not cite Hungarian studies and experts? This is a mistake so common among Americans, but it’s such a jarring assumption that what’s true in the US must be true everywhere else, ignoring the social context and nuance of other places.

Fascinating read. The accounting of what occurred was interesting. But the analyses during the last 30 or so pages, I found most riveting. Great read especially for those interested in the psychology of trauma and domestic abuse.

" The women of Nagyrev are desperate."
What are women to do when their homes and dignity are threatened ? They must take back control of their destiny, whatever the cost. The author meticulously follows the trial of the angelmakers of Nagyrev to answer one crucial question : are these women cold-blooded killers or victims that are simply part of the never-ending cycle of violence ?
Without judgement, Reese investifates the past and connects the murders with current of violence. While she sometimes blurs the lines between corelation and direct consequence, it remains an interesting read. The long list of trials and murders are a bit repetitive though.
3 stars.

April 20, 2026a very interesting and well researched book about a group of women in a small village in hungary who took part in mass poisonings of (abusive) husbands, sons, neighbours etc. after the first world war.
I have never heard about this story before and was very interested to find out more about these women and their individual stories and reasons. The author Hope Reese did a good job to portray the women and how their lives changed during the first world war but also what happened after their men (often changed due to the traumatic experiences) came back home.
Why they have killed the victims and how the justice system failed them all is the most interesting part of the book and probably something I will think about for a long time.
It also has photos of the women, houses and the village in it which I thought was a nice extra to get a better view of how these people lived.

Set a century ago in the Hungarian hinterland, this is the true story of the greatest female-led mass poisoning in modern history, with some 300 men, over a period of 20 years and in a single region, murdered by their wives.
It should be shocking—and it is—but author Hope Rees does not lean into sensationalism; rather, presenting the facts of her meticulous research without embellishment or bias. And it is exactly this that makes for such compelling reading.
For Rees is keen to explore not just the crime itself, but the social and psychological factors behind it, many of which remain relevant today and, moreover, serve as a salutary warning as to what can happen when women are pushed to the brink.
Among other questions, Rees asks why the abused women—in a sparsely populated, isolated region, without access to modern communications—were able to form such a powerful network. Why did they resort to such extreme measures? And why did the poisonings—administered via an arsenic solution made from soaking flypaper in water—go undetected for so long?
It is to Rees’ credit that she not only details, through case studies, the suffering of the women, but also that of the men, the majority of whom had returned home from war maimed and severely traumatized. While not excusing their behavior, Rees demonstrates the implications of such experiences and their insidious reach into communities whose dynamics are forever changed.
Rees goes on to examine how female killers act and are perceived and treated differently to their male counterparts, both then and now, drawing on the expertise of historians, sociologists and psychologists to round out an enlightening, well-balanced and thought-provoking read.

The women are, indeed, NOT FINE. I got this book as a gift from a friend, who said: "this made me think of you!" in a loving tone -- not sure how to take this but I've decided it's a layered compliment.
Anyway, it was an incredibly interesting book with a story that is hard to put down -- SUCH a crazy series of events. The main thing for me that took it from 4 to 3 stars is that the ending felt a bit repetitive and the conclusions a bit unsupported.
P.S: rock on Aunti Zsuzsi -- you little legend.
