Imagine if you will, a United States in which Roe v Wade has been overturned, abortion has been outlawed and replaced by the 28th Amendment - The Personhood Amendment. Through the lives of 4 different women, Zumas examines this issue. At the same time it speaks to how women are seen by society; spinster, mother, witch, expendable.

While not as visionary as I hoped, it felt all too realistic and possible for that to be the case, it was definitely a novel I will keep thinking about and would make an excellent book club selection, if you are willing to tread the politically frought topic.

It is politically charged, isn’t it? Even from over here I have to tread lightly as my husband’s family are very religious. At a family gathering over the weekend someone asked me what I had been reading and I chose to avoid mentioning this one!

I'm so glad you are back and writing reviews! I gave this 3ish as well

Susie, is definitely political. I try to tread lightly with political topics too, but I had rather enough this last week after one too many bigoted comments about a senseless shooting of an unarmed black boy in the back here in Pittsburgh and the protests that have since swept the city. I said a few words and stormed off, and it rather ruined my night. None of them are readers so at least I didn't have to discuss abortion too, because they are all super Catholic and it wouldn't have gone over well.

Thanks Nicole! I am finally starting to feel myself again after a horrible first half to the year, and I hope that feeling sticks around.

So happy to "see" you Sara and hopeful that part II of 2018 is much, much better!!!
