Kettle![]() ![]() The woman are freaky, the virtues are corrupted, the past sins of the forefathers stink, and the world outside is practically dead. ![]() It’s smart speculative fiction, just abstract enough to feed on your curiosity without the complete confusion and chaos that comes with an entire new set of world-rules. This speculative YA thriller was so thought-provoking and fast-paced, I couldn’t put it down. Welcome to Jude’s dystopian world, a teenage boy bred by “Insem” in the House of Life, who is, like all the other Boys at the Auction, desperate to free himself of “debt” and become a man perhaps to prove that he can control himself, and that to look at a woman is not to lose one’s innocence… ![]() Imagine the foggy air around you stank of sour eggs and your trousers were “splashed with veins of muck and dust” as you ran for dear life away from the Tower in the desert that kept you, locked and groomed by a power-hungry elite of masked women. Stripes, Little Tiger Press Group / 7 January 2021 / English / Paperback ![]()
