Red Clocks by Leni Zumas

3.0

Overall, I enjoyed this book. The prose itself is mesmerizing and lyrical, with a dystopian premise that is all-too-relevant in today's political climate. I would recommend this for fans of A Handmaid's Tale. I'm only giving it 3 stars because, for one thing, I wasn't a fan of the book-within-the-book. To me, it interrupted an otherwise compelling narrative. Furthermore, I wish the author had included the LGBTQ community, and how they would be impacted by laws banning IVF, etc. It feels woefully outdated in 2018 to explore questions like this ONLY as they relate to cis, hetero, white women.
