Quill on The Secret of the Sul’Dam: Subtle Changes to the Way the One Power Works in The Wheel of Time TV Series 5 mins ago Christina Dalcher has a doctorate in theoretical linguistics. Go figure. I wonder if anyone she knows is planning on doing something awful? That was the best I could do, try to use Emma as my pawn, stir some pity in those cold eyes of the men." It's not even a well written sentence! My gosh it's just so terrible. Pallasmaa, Juhani (March 2009). "Tapio Wirkkala". this is Finland. Finland Promotion Board . Retrieved 10 April 2015.Credit to Dalcher though, for attempting such an unlikable protagonist. While Miranda’s choice to not have faith in her mother’s separatist views makes Win dislike her, it isn’t enough for a reader to do the same—we know better than Win does that disliking someone because they choose a different life than you is not acceptable. No, what makes Miranda truly unlikeable is her self righteousness, and her in basic inability to connect with others, including her daughter, though there are many instances when she does and thinks terrible things that, in her mind, prioritise Emma. One would perhaps empathise with her daughter in this regard, but even that is difficult, since Emma (like most of the characters in this book) is fairly flat too. Much later in the book, we are given an unexpected insight into why Emma disconnects from her mother so easily and rapidly; an insight that doesn’t really add up since we don’t really much about Emma’s character in the first place. She and her personality-less daughter are on their way to seek refuge in ‘Femlandia’, a womyn-only community founded by Miranda’s (there’s her name) man-hating, feminist mother. And, of course, when they arrive, after *incidents*, things aren’t as they seem…cue the dramatic music. And now, stop reading if you don’t want spoilers. I’m going to elaborate on the exact reasons I hate this book: The shops are empty; the streets no longer safe. Miranda and her daughter Emma have nowhere left to turn.

This Author has become my favorite Author of Dystopian/ Twisted futuristic thrillers. Her writing offers a chilling glimpse into what are sometimes terrifying scenarios in the future and her mind is full of how humanity would change along with a mix of characters that are both intoxicating and frightening. I had to sit on my thoughts about this book before I decided to write this review. I really needed to process everything I had just read because man, it is heavy.

Finlandia vodka is produced from Finnish-grown six-row barley and pure glacial spring water. [ citation needed] Near future America is easily a frightening place in any imagination, and in Christina Dalcher’s third novel Femlandia, America in 2022 is a completely broken, lawless society. After a massive economic breakdown, things rapidly fall apart, supply chains run dry, violence is the only thing that works, there is little food to be found, and everyone is left scavenging as best they can, both for food and safety. 40-something Miranda and her 16 year old daughter Emma have been trying to eke out a survival in their home, but Miranda knows that they won’t be able to stay there much longer. There aren’t many options for them, other than to go to the one place Miranda had sworn off from years ago—Femlandia, the women only commune her mother Win had established before the world broke, a community that is ‘Women Oriented. Self sufficient. Cooperative. Safe. Accepting. Natural. Free’.
