I’ve never read a dystopian book like this one. As a reader, you are truly left in the dark and are unable to grasp any substantial facts about the world- much like the captive women. The themes were in constant juxtaposition, making an unexpected harmony. Loneliness vs being content, helplessness vs resourcefulness, sense of duty vs sense of self. This book isn’t for everyone, but I really enjoyed it.

This book is one I’ll be thinking about for years to come. One of those books that changes you in ways you can’t quite identify right away.
