It's Monday! What are you reading?

**** (4 stars)

I really enjoyed this book. It is like nothing I've read before, it's practically plot-less (*), and we never know the identity of the narrator, or really of any of the characters. Yet, despite is unusual concepts somehow it defies criticism and is an incredilbly interesting and unusual read. Set at the beginning of human 'creation' it tells a tale of how formless femals naturally concieve (in rhythmn with the moon) and the devastation that is caused when they begin to give birth to male babies.
Anyone looking for an interpretation into the way men and women live alongside one another will not be disappointed.
