书籍简介

在这部充满想象力的小说中，堕胎在美国再次成为非法行为，体外受精被禁止，《人格修正案》赋予每个胚胎生命、自由和财产权。

五个女人。一个问题。女人的意义是什么？

在俄勒冈州的一个小渔村，五个截然不同的女人在应对这些新障碍的同时，还面临着关于母性、身份和自由的古老问题。罗是一名单身高中教师，她正试图独自生孩子，同时也在为鲜为人知的 19 世纪极地女探险家 Eivv?r 撰写传记。

苏珊是两个孩子的母亲，陷入了婚姻破裂的困境，对此感到沮丧。玛蒂是溺爱孩子的父母的养女，也是罗杰出的学生之一，她发现自己怀孕了，却无处可去。金是一位天赋异禀、居住在森林中的草药师，或称“修补者”，在现代疯狂的行动中被捕并接受审判时，她将所有人的命运联系在一起。

《红色时钟》既是一部引人入胜的戏剧，其谜团以磁力展开，又是一部令人震惊的思想小说。莱尼·祖马斯与玛格丽特·阿特伍德和艾琳·迈尔斯一样，无畏地探索女性体验的轮廓，让人想起新千年的《使女的故事》。这是一个关于动荡——甚至令人恐惧——时代的坚韧、转变和希望的故事。

In this ferociously imaginative novel, abortion is once again illegal in America, in-vitro fertilization is banned, and the Personhood Amendment grants rights of life, liberty, and property to every embryo.

Five women. One question. What is a woman for?

In a small Oregon fishing town, five very different women navigate these new barriers alongside age-old questions surrounding motherhood, identity, and freedom. Ro, a single high-school teacher, is trying to have a baby on her own, while also writing a biography of Eivv?r, a little-known 19th-century female polar explorer.

Susan is a frustrated mother of two, trapped in a crumbling marriage. Mattie is the adopted daughter of doting parents and one of Ro's best students, who finds herself pregnant with nowhere to turn. And Gin is the gifted, forest-dwelling herbalist, or "mender," who brings all their fates together when she's arrested and put on trial in a frenzied modern-dayhunt.

Red Clocks is at once a riveting drama, whose mysteries unfold with magnetic energy, and a shattering novel of ideas. In the vein of Margaret Atwood and Eileen Myles, Leni Zumas fearlessly explores the contours of female experience, evoking The Handmaid's Tale for a new millennium. This is a story of resilience, transformation, and hope in tumultuous -- even frightening -- times.
