In a dystopian colony people are controlled by bureaucracy, rules and language. Family life, work choices and all social activities are organised by the government. No one dares fall out of line or question why certain events of the past are hushed up.

I feel conflicted about this novel, because I loved the idea it is toying with, and also appreciated the ending, but I was too lulled into boredom by the rather austere and dry narration of most of the slow buildup.
