Emily's Reviews > Mass Mothering

I wasn't expecting to like this book. I had been given a free advanced copy from a local independent bookstore, and I brought it along on my ski trip as a backup in case I finished the other book I had brought along. From the description I was expecting it to be a fantasy/dystopian themed story. However, as it unraveled I was intrigued and had to keep reading. A little while into the story I began to understand what it was really about... probably before most, due to a trip I took last year and things I learned while there. I won't give too much away, since the mystery of what the story is about is part of the experience, carefully crafted by the author to avoid prejudice and preconceptions. Up to the point of using initials instead of names and using generic references to places instead of specific names. I finished this book in one day, it kept me so engaged.
