โฆ Synopsis
In a eugenics-driven future society, will one young womanโs defiance make a difference?
In the not-too-distant future, Englandโs population quality and quantity are under scientific control: Only those deemed the fittest are permitted to procreate. Women are groomed to be โvocational mothersโโor else sterilized and put to other uses. Written by an author married to one of the worldโs most prominent eugenics advocates, this ambivalent adventure anticipates both Brave New World and The Handmaidโs Tale. When a young woman rebels against her conditioning, can she break free?
