A Popsugar most anticipated book of fall
A Ploughshares most anticipated book of fall
One of Publishers Weekly's most anticipated titles of fall 2017
Five women. One question. What is a woman for?
In this ferociously imaginative novel, abortion is once again illegal in America, in vitro fertilization is banned, and the Personhood Amendment grants rights of life, liberty, and property to every embryo. In a small Oregon fishing town, five very different women navigate these new barriers alongside age-old questions surrounding motherhood, identity, and freedom.
Ro, a single high-school teacher, is trying to have a baby on her own while also writing a biography of Eivør, a little-known 19th-century female polar explorer. Susan is a frustrated mother of two, trapped in a crumbling marriage. Mattie is the adopted daughter of doting parents and one of Ro's best students, who finds herself pregnant with nowhere to turn. And Gin is the gifted, forest-dwelling herbalist, or "mender", who brings all their fates together when she's arrested and put on trial in a frenzied modern-day witch hunt.
Red Clocks is at once a riveting drama whose mysteries unfold with magnetic energy and a shattering novel of ideas. In the vein of Margaret Atwood and Eileen Myles, Leni Zumas fearlessly explores the contours of female experience, evoking The Handmaid's Tale for a new millennium. This is a story of resilience, transformation, and hope in tumultuous - even frightening - times.

If you are interested in women’s issues & the biological plight we all face, this is a VERY good book.
I listened to this book during my hour long commutes to & from work. If you liked The Handmaid’s Tale, you will enjoy this!
The narrator did an incredible job expressing the character’s age, tone & individuality!
Fabulous!

I desperately wanted to like this book

I will definitely be recommending this book to many of the women in my life, and some of the men as well. If nothing else, I hope it serves to remind us all that we should be a little kinder to ourselves and to each other.
And if they turn this into a movie, I really hope Tina Fey plays Ro. If you happen to read this, Tina, think about it! 😉
