A review by rustyray
Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler

dark emotional sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.5

Very interesting novel, incredible to compare the written year and how relatable themes are now that we are in the future year (2024). Prepare for sadness but also surprisingly amount of mind blowing moments. 
Follow story of a household in a guarded community in dystopian future from a teenage girls perspective. 

I find it hard to suggest with the heavy, graphic description of sexual abuse
