Susanne’s Review:

A World Without Men?  

Truth Be Told, at this point in time, that sounds pretty good to me.

Then the doors to Femlandia opened and all was revealed.

Decades ago, a group of women banded together to form a women’s only colony, free from the rules of the states. Surviving off the land, they become wholly self-sufficient.  

When the country collapses, Femlandia is the only place to go for Miranda Reynolds and her daughter Emma. Living off the grid seems almost idyllic upon arrival.  It’s only once Miranda steps inside that she realizes Femlandia’s methods are barbaric and that her mother and her former best friend, are responsible.

It’s inside the colony that Miranda must figure out a way to save herself and everyone else from the Cult her mother created, or die trying. 

Anxiety-inducing, disturbing, and thought-provoking, Femlandia is not for the faint of heart.  It’s quite shocking at times and includes assault, torture, and extreme violence.  

While I enjoyed this novel by Christina Dalcher, Vox remains my favorite.
