This is a chilling novel set in the future. In a world damaged by radiation, a regime takes over which demands that women be covered by red veils, live in communes and all those with working ovaries should breed or be publicly hanged. The power of this book is that the voice of the narrator is so compelling that the reader themselves can feel hatred for this suffocating regime. This is not a light read but gives plenty of food for thought and shivers down your spine!
