Happy birthday my friend! Thanks for the book recommendation, I too have loved feminist sci-fi/dystopian stuff, I find myself wondering if I have the stomach for it right now 😞

Thanks so much Gillian - and if you do decide to pick this one up I'd love to know what you think of it.

Wow, how interesting. Always sad when the author passes away before their work has become a hit. Sounds like she lived a good life, though.

Happiest of birthdays to you!

Sara this is fascinating, thank you for such thoughtful unpacking. I agree it is always welcome when authors do exciting things, and I think (even though we're told how everything is doom and gloom right now, in the book world and world in general) demonstrates that readers are ALWAYS looking for great stories, no matter how they fit the mould. Thanks again and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you! Enjoy the beach! xx
