Publisher's summary

Winner of the Sunday Independent Newcomer of the Year Award.

Eves are designed, not made. The School trains them to be pretty. The School trains them to be good. The School trains them to Always be Willing. All their lives, the eves have been waiting. Now they are ready for the outside world.

Companion...concubine...or chastity. Only the best will be chosen. And only the Men decide.

Absolutely Frightful

This book left me stunned at both the frightfulness of the society one gets to glimpse at and the eerie similarities to our own.

If you intend to sleep soundly or feel at peace ever again, then stay far away. If however you value an incitement to compassion and empathy this book will give you that in spades.

As bad a book as the narrator

Truly terrible book that gets tired after chapter 2. Unlovable protagonist. Poor writing. A plagiarised Handmaid’s Tale. Just read some Margaret Atwood instead.

Narrator’s mispronuciations:

Belying. Bellying
Pixalated. Pixaltated.
Finality. Finalty.
Chasm. chasm (like church)
Ubiquitous. Ubiquious.
Fervent. Feverent.
Chaste. Chaast
