Nomansland

De: Lesley Hauge

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

Sometime in the future, after wars and fires have devastated the earth, a lonely, windswept island in the north is populated solely by women. The women have survived against all odds by working hard in their fields. Their lives are tough.

Among these women is a group of teenage Trackers - expert equestrians and archers - who are in training to protect their shores from the enemy. The enemy, they’ve been told, is men.

When these girls come upon a partially buried home from the distant past, they are fascinated by the strange objects - high-heeled shoes, teen magazines, makeup - found there. What are they to make of these mysterious things, which introduce a world they have never known? And what does it mean for their strict society where friendship is forbidden and rules must be obeyed - at all costs?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“ Nomansland challenges the ways we think about our world by examining it through the lens of brainwashed and disillusioned teenagers looking for answers. Hauge stands every cultural norm on its head....Extremely compelling. The author puts forth completely new interpretations of how our popular culture affects us and what it could mean years from now.” ( School Library Journal)
