*Blog Tour: Femlandia by Christina Dalcher

Today I'm on the blog tour for Femlandia by Christina Dalcher*. I received an ecopy directly from the publisher to enable me to take part in the tour.

Miranda Reynolds has lost her home, her job and her husband – all thanks to an economic collapse that has brought America to its knees.

The shops are empty; the streets no longer safe. Miranda and her daughter Emma have nowhere left to turn.

There is one final hope, a self-sufficient haven for women who want to live a life free from men. Femlandia.

For Miranda, the secluded Femlandia is a last resort. Life outside the gates is fraught with danger, but there’s something just as sinister going on within.

My thoughts?

Having loved Vox and Q I couldn't wait to read the author's latest dystopian novel which is set in the United States in the not so distant future.

The world has suffered a huge economic crash and before long life is not as the main characters Miranda and her daughter Emma know it. They managed to survive for a little while before the baliffs came, then the shops had no food left and the electricity is cut off at home. It's not safe being outside now but with little supplies left and despite Miranda not wishing to ask her estranged mother for help they decide to head for Femlandia.

On the way they have a run in with a pack of men and without her mother's help Emma would have been brutally attacked. Shaken they carry on to Femlandia, a woman only haven run by Miranda's mother and sidekick Jen. Once inside Miranda quickly realises all is not well and I found some of the storylines quite disturbing.
In the epilogue we have a glimpse at what happened afterwards and I thought it gave the story closure of sorts.
