5.0
In the vein of The Handmaid’s Tale but not violent or consumed with evil, this book is tightly written, short, engrossing, and thought-provoking.
Graphic: Confinement, Death, Sexual content, Suicide, Torture, Forced institutionalization, Kidnapping, and Grief
Minor: Infertility
Read it as a comparison if you’ve read the Handmaid’s Tale.
