Wonderful descriptions of nature and the nature of man. Even liked the Dickensian ending.
2.5 stars. As much as I wanted to love this book, I just couldn't. (Incidentally, my husband is a fan.) I love dystopian literature, but this one was just SO depressing.
It started out great, but then Makepeace left her home in search of...something. Then, everything about her life changed for the worse. While she was a survivor, the story was told in such a disjointed way that I had a hard time staying connected to it.

Not a fan of the casual racism in this book. Also learned that I would have some sexual violence to look forward to reading and decided I don’t really need to have that described to me in yet another book written by a man.
It’s unfortunate, though, because I was really digging the premise.

Had actually been looking forward to reading this one for a while, but just didn't like being in Makepeace's head? The casual racism and constant threat of sexual violence were just not anything I'm terribly interested in reading rn.
