The Growing Season by Helen Sedgwick

5.0

2018 is off to a great start with The Growing Season! A story set in an alternate modern-day UK where babies are grown in external pouches, removing one of the most fundamental inequalities between the sexes. The Growing Season tackles feminism and whether there really are fundamental differences between men and women, at the same time crafting a clever sci-fi novel, expertly researched and with the science so well explained even someone who got a 3 in their Standard Grade biology 14 years ago can understand. Helen Sedgwick was a physicist before becoming an author and she brings a fascinating depth of knowledge to her novels.
