Relation Supposing Books The Natural Way of Things

Two women awaken from a drugged sleep to find themselves imprisoned in an abandoned property in the middle of a desert in a story of two friends, sisterly love and courage - a gripping, starkly imaginative exploration of contemporary misogyny and corporate control, and of what it means to hunt and be hunted.

Strangers to each other, they have no idea where they are or how they came to be there with eight other girls, forced to wear strange uniforms, their heads shaved, guarded by two inept yet vicious armed jailers and a 'nurse'. The girls all have something in common, but what is it? What crime has brought them here from the city? Who is the mysterious security company responsible for this desolate place with its brutal rules, its total isolation from the contemporary world? Doing hard labour under a sweltering sun, the prisoners soon learn what links them: in each girl's past is a sexual scandal with a powerful man. They pray for rescue - but when the food starts running out it becomes clear that the jailers have also become the jailed. The girls can only rescue themselves.

Judgment About Books The Natural Way of Things

I am on the fence about this book. On the plus side it is well written and I felt compelled to keep reading through to the end. On the minus side though the plot was totally unrealistic and the ending was awful. I have never liked books which do not tell me what happens next - I am the reader not the author so my job is to listen, the author's is to tell. I felt the author let me down on this one. As for the plot, I felt pretty sure a large group of women in this situation would not have behaved

This novel has been lauded left, right and centre, so I felt a bit of pressure to go ga-ga over it.But I can't and I won't.It was far from terrible, but as far as I am concerned it didn't blow my mind away, and worst of all, it didn't touch me on an emotional level, and I have a big problem with this, especially when it's supposed to be a dystopian novel, with misogynism at its core. I consider myself a staunch feminist, so I am perplexed by my apathy, especially given how easily I get fired up.

4★Its 5-star writing but I disliked the story too much to rate it any higher. In fact, I ended up skimming the last part of the book because I didnt care what further atrocities befell the women, whether or not they 'deserved' it.Young women wake up in a desert compound, apparently recovering from being drugged. All appear to have had some notoriety or fame because of affairs or loose behaviour, and theyre now being punished and treated like prisoners.They wake up alone, terrified, and are

Ten young women wake up in what can only be described as hell. With their heads shaven, they are taken to an isolated area that is surrounded by an electrified fence. For what seems like a never ending time, they are forced to live in conditions not even fit enough for animals. Their only sin it seems that connects them all is their transgression's with powerful men. Told through the experiences of two of these women (Yolanda and Verla), we see as they are stripped of their freedom and every



Oof. Angry, brutal and memorable - I'll be thinking about this one for ages.

Wow! Allow me a minute to decompress after one of the most harrowing and visceral reading Ive experienced in a long time. Think: Lord of the Flies. Think: A Handmaids Tale. And then ratchet up the horror by a few degrees.At the start of the novel, we become aware that 10 young women have been drugged and abducted to a desolate Australian outback, contained within a 30-foot electric fence and supervised by two brutal male guards. What do they have in common? It doesnt take them long to figure it
