A review by mollyrook
The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison

Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.
This one is a DNF, largely because I don’t think there was any reason for it to be as rapey as it was. No content warnings, and nothing on the back cover blurb to suggest that this was an apocalypse story about the surviving women being raped constantly by any men who happened to find them. 

I dunno, maybe it goes somewhere spectacular by the end? After the dozen or so sexual assaults in the first hundred pages, I wasn’t willing to stick around to find out.
