This is an adult novel. I am currently in the middle of the book- but it starts with all women losing their jobs, access to their money, and are no longer allowed to read. As the population begins to die off due to problems with pollution-- women who are able to have children have their personal children given to the elite in the community and forced into bearing children for the elite class.
