This is a highly intriguing novel, I couldn't stop reading it because I was eager to see where it would lead and to discover what would happen in both the past and present timelines. This is not an easy read; it is, in fact, gruesome and tackles very heavy topics.
The writing is exceptional, the plot is engaging, and the characters are complex and slightly twisted, in a way that characters who have had to live through post-apocalyptic situations usually are. Yet, they remain easy to root for. Additionally, it is a thematically rich novel, offering thought-provoking commentary on climate change, the use of religion as a means of control, and especially the brutal consequences of misogynistic regimes.
