I have never read any of Christina Dalcher’s previous books but was intrigued by the description of this. I love dystopian fiction and this account of what might happen if America has another financial crash is gripping.
Miranda’s life is destroyed by the crash of the financial system. Money runs out, schools and public services close and society begins to break down. Her husband runs away from his responsibilities in the worst possible and she is left to survive with her teenage daughter. Her mother, Win, has set up a women’s commune, Femlandia, and Miranda decides that she has no choice but to go there to find sanctuary for the two of them.
After a difficult journey, they arrive and are welcomed into the commune. However, everything is not as it first appears and Femlandia holds a very dark secret.
This is a dark story of what might happen if women run a society in which men are not welcome at all and seems to have quite a pessimistic view of human nature. But I was gripped by the story and really wanted to know how it would all end.
Thank you to Net Galley and Berkley Books for letting me read an advance copy of this in return for an honest review.
