Well developed flawed protagonists who really come alive. (3 more)

Scarily believable future scape.

Feels like a warning without being preachy

Fantastically poignant ending

Ahead of his time. A must for sci fi fans

If you like science fiction read this. This is part of our history, part of the beginning. So much other great literature sprang from and was inspired by this novel.
Detailed believable culture and characters that despite living in the dystopian world created by Huxley are relatable and real. Flawed humans trying to find meaning to their existence.
No spoilers...just read it.

Wow

I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down but I had to at times because l didn't want it to end. Even though this book is fiction I was so caught up in Anke's journey that the author made it feel so real life. The author captured the sadness of real life history, and with her knowledge of midwifery this book fast became one of my favourite reads in years. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has a fascination for stories about the holocaust.
