FIVE WOMEN. ONE QUESTION: What is a woman for? In this ferociously imaginative novel, abortion is once again illegal in America, in-vitro fertilization is banned, and the Personhood Amendment grants rights of life, liberty, and property to every embryo. In a small Oregon fishing town, five very different women navigate these new barriers.
The collection features a range of short stories that explore a dark, dreamlike America, highlighting characters who are on the edge of survival. Zumas skillfully illuminates their struggles and resilience, inviting readers to delve into the complexities of their lives and the haunting landscapes they inhabit.
