Red Clocks

I'll round this up to a 2.5 but I found Red Clocks generally underwhelming. I understood where Leni Zumas was going with the cultural and political commentary but I never felt like I got enough time with the characters to really care deeply about their journeys. And that is saying something since this book comes in at 300+ pages. The most compelling story was about a woman who died 150 years before this book starts - and we get the fewest details about her. I really, really wanted to like this book more but it just didn't do it for me.

If you're looking for something in this vein but much better, check out The Power by Naomi Alderman.
