From Booker and Orange Prize-nominated author Sarah Hall comes the
tale of an imaginary England, a future dystopian society where the
right to bear a child is determined by a state lottery system. In this
stunning novel Sarah Hall draws on the work of Margaret Atwood and
George Orwell to imagine a dystopic England where terrifying new
systems of control are in place and reproduction has become a lottery.
When a girl known only as “Sister” escapes the confines of her
increasingly repressive marriage to find an isolated group of women
living on a remote northern farm, she must find out whether she has it
in herself to become an active insurgent. This fascinating novel
considers what lengths women will go to in a brutalized world in order
to resist their oppressors, what tactics they must employ to survive
and remain free. But the story asks a wider and more difficult
question: under what circumstances might an ordinary person become a
terrorist?
