Red Clocks
by Leni Zumas
So, I didn't hear all the buzz around this book before reading it - GOOD FOR ME. I would've definitely been a lot harsher had I known this was compared to The Handmaid's Tale (one of my favorite books since high school, long before the televisionshow). It's a small town book with alternating, connected women narrators as well as a biography on a female explorer. I felt more strongly about the narrators, the small town, and the development than the feminism/abortion rights angle. The female narrators did seem to try to be put in "boxes" but the author, but the roles were unnecessary -- their voices could have just been more different to distinguish them. They seems to have very similar thoughts; maybe the author could have just done third-party narration overall for everyone?
Also, I love a dystopian novel, and I didn't necessarily think this was dystopian. It seemed to be just slightly different than the current real world, and really narrowly focused within this one small town. A hopeless story, and I liked the book overall!
