"El estado de la naci�n ha cambiado. Con la mayor�a del pa�s inundado, los recursos controlados por el gobierno, y guerras en curso en Sudam�rica y en China, Inglaterra est� irreconocible. En este mundo de precariedad y extenuante trabajo industrial, la Autoridad insiste en que todas las mujeres lleven dispositivos de contracepci�n. Hermana nos cuenta su historia desde su celda: c�mo so�� con escapar a una comuna de mujeres que viven en Carhullan, una granja fortificada en las remotas colinas de Cumbria, y c�mo esa huida no fue m�s que el inicio de su lucha."--Page [4] of cover.… (más)

I enjoyed this book and found it well-written. The characters are alternately sympathetic and detestable. It is a fine addition to the lexicon of feminist dystopias.

If you're just wanting a taste of this kind of dystopia, I would point you to Octavia Butler's "Parable of the Sower" and "Parable of the Talents". If you really want to sink your teeth in the subject, you should probably read this one at some point, because it does provide some unique food for thought on the matter. (

Being a feminist dystopia in which a woman flees a London administered by a cruel and misogynistic dictatorship to seek out a colony of resisters out in the tules. This was far too much of a slow burner for me; there is very little (if any) action; rather, the protagonist narrator muses on the collapse of her marriage and her husband's reluctant collaboration with the government. The only other character is a nondescript driver who picks her up as a hitchhiker and who talks a great deal about uninteresting matters. (

It took me a ridiculous amount of time to read this, partly because I was so busy and partly because I knew were it was going and wasn't really inspired to be bummed out faster. (

Did the author run out of steam at the end there? Just when plot starting picking up, suddenly the files were "corrupted" and could only be partially read. An interesting premise, though the execution of the story did not jive with me. The author seemed to try and make this similar to The Handmaid's Tale, with the story told in epistolary fashion as testimony of the nameless main character, which just led for me to make comparisons to Atwood throughout.

I wish there had been more to flesh it out. As it was, it felt incomplete. (

A beautifully crafted novel. Set in the north of England in the Lake District, this is familiar territory but not familiar times. England is in disarray and the people of the cities are oppressed and abused. Carhullan, high on the fells is the opposite. This community of women seems idyllic. There is such darkness in this book, I found it unsettling and at first read it in short sections. There were parts that were almost unbearable to read and others that were lyrical. It is about our fight for freedom and about suffering and how that fuels our actions. (

The Carhullan Army/Daughters of the North is worth reading for its gorgeous prose and layered depictions of the relationships among the women in a commune. But as a future dystopian narrative, it presents a few really terrifying ideas — the Coil chief among them — and then falls a bit flat.
