Red Clocks
by Leni Zumas
"Red Clocks" feels like a normal, everyday kind of world as we know, but it is dystopian in the sense that there is a patriarchal, authoritarian, crushing laws in place. (Sound familiar?) Embryos now have more rights than adult women. If a woman miscarries (no matter how early the pregnancy or if she even knew she was pregnant), she is forced to pay for a formal funeral. Embryos cannot give consent to be moved, so IVF is not an option. Abortion is illegal, so women are forced to seek out dangerous alternatives. It doesn't matter if it was rape or incest - they don't care how it got in there.
I couldn't put this book down - I read it in three days. Zumas wrote the laws of the dystopia from actual suggestions from real conservative lawmakers. When I read the last page and put the book down, I felt like I was on the edge of being in this world. It felt too real. A timely book, indeed.
