Red Clocks by Leni Zumas

This was a fascinating read in the vein of Margaret Atwood. The setting is an all-too-believable dystopian America where reproductive freedom is yanked from the grasp of women and subjected to the heavy-handedness of patriarchy. The novel's structure is unique and the writing itself lives in the realm of symbol and myth while the storytelling is unflinching and raw. The result is something lovely and primordial with a point to make, which it does with a great deal of impact. Good stuff.
