Hey Everyone,
I am going to review the book "The Book of the Unnamed Midwife: The Road to Nowhere (Book 1)," by Meg Elison. This book is hot off the press as it was just published today October 11, 2016 by 47 North. For those of you who are interested in purchasing a copy of this book CLICK HERE. This book is about a woman of whom when she woke up from an illness the world she knew was dead. It is about her navigating and surviving in the new world that lays before her. A world where women are scarce, men are a dime a dozen, and where babies and children are unheard of.
Overall I rated this book four stars out of five. This book discusses issues of feminism in a dystopian world. I did like this story I thought it was very creative and was a good premise to discuss issues us women face. This book was well written, and well told. The characters were well developed. This book has all the makings of a good book. And it did capture my attention throughout the book. It was just that this book tried to cover too many issues from women's issues, to religion and faith. I felt in some areas it was written to broadly and would have been better if the book had more focus. Because at some points the story seemed to unravel. But I am glad I did read this book, I really did enjoy reading it and am looking forward to reading more from this author.
I would like to thank Netgalley, Meg Elison, and 47 North, for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
Until the next page,
Jill
