Red Clocks
by Leni Zumas
In Red Clocks, Leni Zumas creates a dystopian future that feels utterly believable and contemporary. What are the implications for individuals of society claiming control of women's fertility? How does that play out for different people and how do those dilemmas intersect?
My only slight niggle is that I found the contrivance of referring to the point-of-view characters by their roles (The Biographer, The Mender, etc.) a bit distancing at first. It jarred, and I found it took me longer to identify with the characters, work out who was who, etc. But as the story progressed, I did end up identifying with them all, and there's some fantastic writing here.
