As always with SciFi or dystopian stories, when there are unfamiliar names of people, places and such it takes a bit until I am in the story, not only reading it.
Can't put my feelings into words only so much. Worth the read.
A society built after a nuclear war. Male and female separated, coming together only to breed.
And a society treating women like inferior sh!t. Only to "do their duty". And if the women can't anymore, they get mistreated, children are killed if they don't suit the Elders. Inbreds, which will - eventually - extinct themselves.
So much, Sheri S. Tepper put into this story, still valid ... and unfortunately, still existent in the 21st century.
Great read.
