katejeminhizer 's review for:
Femlandia
by Christina Dalcher
Dalcher's writing strikes a chord no matter what she focuses on. In this, her third major work, Dalcher explores the prospect of an all female colony. What at first seems to be an oasis turns out to be as equally treacherous and duplicitous as the outside world.
The book follows Miranda Reynolds as she struggles to find a way for her and her daughter to survive. The modern world has descended into chaos and there seems to be no other options for survival other than to ask for "sanctuary" at the Femlandia colony. Miranda has her own reasons for wanting to avoid the colony at all costs but she sets aside her reservations for the sake of her daughter Emma. As a woman who was used to all that her former privileged lifestyle provided her, Miranda cannot find herself able to submit to the rules of the colony. While her daughter seems to "drink the Kool Aid" and ultimately turns away from her, Miranda delves deeper into the darkness and discovers the secrets that her longtime rival Jen has fought to keep hidden.
An intriguing storyline that provides fodder for plenty of discussions in book clubs. Fascinating read!
