It’s also very dark and violent, so—be warned.
My biggest disappointment is that there is absolutely no discussion, exploration, or even a nod to queer folks, especially queer women, in this novel. For all that Alderman does to capture a variety of perspectives and responses to a worldwide phenomenon, the absence of wlw seems like a big oversight.
