Walk to the End of the World by Suzy McKee Charnas

5.0

This book becomes more intense as it goes along, and some of the most profound statements are toward the end in the relationship (not romantic) of two of the characters. Charnas says she originally wrote it as a political satire, and bits of that are in evidence, in an entirely organic and plausible way. There was one character I didn't feel that I really understood - but not in a way that took away from the larger ideas. I am surprised this book isn't more know - if you are interested in patriarchy, dystopian novels where the disaster seems all too real and immanent you will be interested in this. Additionally I felt that she gives an view into the mindset of slave holders, and the slave, or any very gender divided society (including I am sure some of the ultra rightwing in the US.)
