The Birth Yard: A Novel by Mallory Tater

4.0

Sable is a modern day woman trapped in a world of toxic masculinity that thrives on oppressing women more than any 1950's house wife ever was. A free-thinking woman imprisoned in a society where the only redeeming quality women possess is their ability to breed. Where only men deserve capitalization. A gripping novel that made my feminist blood boil.

Not a book I'd normally read but one I enjoyed immensely. Mallory Tater's writing transports you into the life of 18 year old Sable, through The Den's bizarre and messed up way of doing things to the darkness of the Birth Yard.

The part that kills me, this world Tater created may be fictional, but the truth is there are real life versions of the Den, of Lynx, of Feles. Having said that, I know there are more Sables out there. I stand with the Sables.
