Publisher's summary
The Quickening is a bold and shocking novel set in a near-future Britain, about gender, power and betrayal.
Does the world seem right, to you?
Years ago, Dana Mayer had a vision of a better world: one where women are in charge. Now her manifesto, The Quickening, has established the rules for a new order, designed to elevate and protect women. A genteel and peaceful society that prioritises nature, good manners and aesthetics. Of course, in order for women to maintain control, the freedoms of men have been necessarily limited.
Arthur Alden loves Dana Mayer but hates the world she has created. But can he find a way to resist, without losing everything? And with Dana intent on making men pay reparations for their past crimes, can Arthur be allowed to live without punishment?

A Twist on Dystopian Future.
I'm a sucker for dystopian futures. This is not the best written one in my opinion with a premise that is not very well thought through / elaborated on. The ending is a poor (wo)mans 1984. But it is a refreshing take on the genre that typically devolves into raving hoards of lustful men who take whatever they can by force. An anti-Handmaids Tale in a way.
