What if women were in control? Civilization has crumbled. Brutes, feral men, roam the countryside. But inside the Enclave, women are safe. Liberated from menial tasks, they pursue intellectual interests and cultivate their tastes in art, music, theater, and delicacies. They govern themselves via consensus. Gracious manners are the rule. Their culture of refinement stands in stark contrast to the wilderness beyond the Enclave walls, where Brutes must compete for scarce resources. Brutes are taken into the Enclave for one reason, and one reason only-reproduction. But Menna, a young Vestal responsible for the reproduction program, makes a mistake she’s desperate to conceal. The fallout threatens the Enclave, and shatters Menna’s every preconception. Who are these Brutes? What is it they want? Powerful and profound, Falling as She Sings is at once science fiction adventure, spiritual thriller, and visionary love story. It’s a searching, funny commentary on the eternal, yet ever fresh and compelling forces driving relationships between the sexes. Falling as She Sings is a dystopian novel that turns The Handmaid’s Tale on its head. Scroll up to buy Falling as She Sings and experience this vivid and absorbing story today!
