RED CLOCKS - LENI ZUMAS KARTONIERT (TB)

In this ferociously imaginative novel  abortion is once again illegal in America  in-vitro
fertilization is banned  and the Personhood Amendment grants rights of life  liberty  and
property to every embryo. Five women. One question. What is a woman for? In a small Oregon
fishing town  five very different women navigate these new barriers alongside age-old questions
surrounding motherhood  identity  and freedom. Ro  a single high-school teacher  is trying to
have a baby on her own  while also writing a biography of Eivv?r  a little-known 19th-century
female polar explorer. Susan is a frustrated mother of two  trapped in a crumbling marriage.
Mattie is the adopted daughter of doting parents and one of Ro's best students  who finds
herself pregnant with nowhere to turn. And Gin is the gifted  forest-dwelling herbalist  or
mender  who brings all their fates together when she's arrested and put on trial in a frenzied
modern-day witch hunt. Red Clocks is at once a riveting drama  whose mysteries unfold with
magnetic energy  and a shattering novel of ideas. In the vein of Margaret Atwood and Eileen
Myles  Leni Zumas fearlessly explores the contours of female experience  evoking The Handmaid's
Tale for a new millennium. This is a story of resilience  transformation  and hope in
tumultuous -- even frightening -- times.
