I have a feeling I’m missing something with this book. It’s about an earth where evolution has reversed, so everything is returning to previous versions, including humans. Infertility has risen, and not many standard humans being born. In the wake of this a theocracy takes over, incarcerating fertile women and impregnating them until they die in child birth. The story follows a woman who is 4 months pregnant as she tries to remain free in this new society. Kind of interesting, a bit like Children of Men. But it was so rambling and slow, so I’m not really sure what the author was trying to say. It is written as a form of diary entries from the mother to the future child. There is not a lot of focus given on the society and what is going on. Instead you are very focussed on this woman who wasn’t very interesting. She kept having long interludes about religion and immaculate conception. Wasn’t very captivating.
