Description ‘One of those rare novels that leave us different people at the end than we were at the beginning.’ GLORIA STEINEM ‘She is a serious writer who deserves the sort of considered attention which, too often, she does not get…’ MARGARET ATWOOD_______________________________________ Often compared to Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and Naomi Alderman’s The Power – Woman on the Edge of Time has been hailed as a classic of speculative science fiction.
