![]() Zumas's novel follows five women, four of whom live in a near-future America where reproductive rights have been drastically curtailed: Abortion and in-vitro fertilization are illegal, single people cannot adopt children, and a Pink Wall separates America from Canada, ensuring that people cannot cross the border to secure a legal abortion. One book that painfully illustrates the individual costs of restrictive legislation is Bustle Book Club's May selection, Red Clocks. Amid this ongoing battle for reproductive rights, authors continue to use fiction to demonstrate just how bad things can get. In the first five months of 2019, five states - Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Ohio - have moved to restrict abortion access. ![]() ![]() Follow along with the book club on Bustle and join the conversation on Goodreads. In May, Little Fires Everywhere author Celeste Ng recommended Red Clocks by Leni Zumas. Each month, the Bustle Book Club asks an author to recommend a book they think everyone should read. ![]()
