"‘Intense, beautifully crafted … Her talent is electric. Get ready for a shock’ Guardian
"This is a work of fiction. Keep telling yourself that."

America has changed. For women, it has changed for the worse.
Ro, a single high-school teacher, is desperate to become a mother. But with IVF now illegal — along with abortion and other reproductive rights — parenthood looks increasingly unlikely for her. Her best friend Susan is trapped in a failing marriage with two children, her star student Mattie is unwillingly pregnant and Gin, an outcast offering other women natural remedies, has become the centre of a modern-day witch-hunt.
With warmth, wit and ferocious inventiveness, Red Clocks shows us an all-too plausible near-future: like The Handmaid’s Tale, it is a call to arms, set to become a modern classic.

    💧Soppy

    Eh. Very choppy, the book doesn’t “flow”. Very similar to handmaid’s tale, but not as entertaining.

            “Which roots and herbs, exactly?”
            She’s one of those people who think they will understand something if they hear its name, when really they will only hear its name.
