Just in case anyone is looking for the novel, I think the title is "The
Misconceiver" and the author is Lucy Ferriss. It's definitely a dystopia
in the vein of Handmaid's Tale, and very well written (check out the
graphic depictions of abortion) but not quite as gripping as Atwood's work.
Might have been better as a novella.
BTW, I'm Jenn. I'm a writer who's usually too tired (read: lazy,
undisciplined) from working as a college reference librarian and desktop
publisher to actually write anything. Dystopias are a particular interest
of mine. Right now I'm working my way through the Native Tongue series.
I'm enjoying all your comments/rants/reading suggestions.
