An incandescent, poetic dystopia reminscent of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and George Orwell's 1984.

A totalitarian society with closed borders, bounded by a river. On the opposite shore, the remains of a resistance settlement inspired by Monique Wittig's 1969 novel Les Guérillères. In the capital city of this closed society, various characters recount their stories, their aspirations, their memories, how to hide, survive, and sneak about in a world where books are forbidden. A dystopia where the crises we are undergoing today find their reflection. A poetic, incandescent novel of multiple voices, about bodily emancipation, the spirit of rebellion and sisterhood. An homage to literature and its liberating, subversive potential.
