Red Clocks
by Leni Zumas
Dear Red Clocks,
I picked you up on the suggestion of a fellow bookstagrammer, and I am really glad I did! Zumas has a fantastic ability to make this future of personhood, and every child deserves two and the pink wall feel so tangible, so imminent in our conservative reality. The way that the four women's lives tied together, the fact that none of thier realities could have existed without the others was moving. It reinforced the sisterhood among women, and the ways we actively tear each other down or build each other up. I enjoyed being inside Maddie and Gin's heads the most, but Sarah and Roe offered thier own unique perspectives on this new reality. While children are not my personal goal in life, experiencing Roe's overwhelming desire to be a mother was illuminating. I loved how she questioned her drive and her motivation behind her desire, instead of simply accepting that women are supposed to be mothers, the end. There was so much more happening behind the events of the story that drove me to listen to you.
