Red Clocks by Leni Zumas

4.0

I got sucked into the story pretty quickly. I liked the different perspectives, showing how these women are affected and even subsumed by expectations around motherhood, both biologically and culturally. The laws in force in Red Clocks are entirely plausible, which is terrifying. And even without them, the pressure and scrutiny women already experience around motherhood are totally real. People already think they get to have an opinion about our bodies and wombs and family plans, even without (for now) draconian legislation.
