Feminist dystopian thrillers have been hitting eerily close to reality lately, and The Last Midwife brings that discomfort home. 'I'm going to snuff out the old witches - every last one of them!' England has a One-Child Policy. Midwives have been outlawed for decades. Only a handful remain, risking everything to help mothers give birth in secret, but now their very existence is under threat. When young nurse Chiara arrives from Sicily, her dreams are quickly shattered by the horrifying truth behind the pristine walls of the Genesis Centre. Meanwhile, Rava, the privileged wife of a government official, finds her perfect life unravelling when her pregnancy fails to meet her husband's requirements.
Their worlds collide in a desperate fight for life, choice, and humanity against a system determined to control the future, one baby at a time.
What readers are saying:
London living a nightmare worse than Gilead.
