HACHETTE

Widowland is a counterfac­tual novel based on an alternativ­e history with a strong feminist twist. Instead of fighting the Nazis in WWII, Britain forms an alliance with Germany, and when the war is over, the world looks something between

A Handmaids Tale and 1984. With Hitler in control, able men are sent to the ‘mainland’ to work (or disappear), while the women left behind are assigned castes, where they are forced to dress a certain way and work in particular fields. A gripping thriller and clever dystopian tale.
