Jaqueline Harpman's otherworldy dystopia has blown up recently. Is the resurgence justified?
Seen through the eyes of a main character who can't remember anything from life before the prison, you get to explore this strange, grim world from first principles. Its an alien way to explore an alien place, and the mystery just keeps getting deeper all the way through. The ending makes this a stylistically divisive book - you're gonna love it or you're gonna hate it.
As always, no spoilers until the end when we get into the full plot explanation and discussion.
