This was my first dystopian novel that I picked up in a charity shop because I had heard about it somewhere. I was immediately angered by the content which made it a fast and tense read.  It truly highlights the importance of language and using our voice in politics especially for marginalised groups and in this case for women... before it becomes too late. Although the content was at times far fetched, you can see restrictions on human rights across the globe today so it doesn’t take much to imagine the world going this way. I like the pace of the book but found the ending to be quite rushed. However, it is one that I will remember and definitely recommend to others.  Looking out for the next Dalcher novel.👌
