This is the strangest book I’ve ever read. Short and impactful. 40 women are held in an underground bunker guarded by men. They appear to have all that they need. Life goes on for years and years. Until one day a siren goes off and they are able to escape. They escape and find more desolation and death. More and more bunkers with dead ppl. We have no sense of who has imprisoned them or the reason. The youngest child in this bunker has no past life thus no reference to anything cultural or social. Which makes her the perfect narrator for what becomes a commentary on patriarchy, human cruelty and what we do to hold on to our humanity. Such a weird little book.
