A review by e_len
The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison

adventurous dark sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.5

a feminist post-apocalyptic story, probably realistic reactions in there
This was very hard to read emotionally. It was so very bleak, but the psychology in there is sound. Still, I need a silly, easy read after this dark and heavy story.
Minus half a star for Americacentrism like the focus on religion in some parts and the constant belief that guns solve everything.
