Red Clocks follows five women in a near-future America where abortion is illegal, in-vitro fertilization is banned, and adoption by a single parent will soon be banned. It's a searing, timely, and cautionary tale about what happens when women's rights are curtailed.
Here's why Celeste Ng things you should read it:
"In 2018, friend after friend recommended Red Clocks, but I hesitated to pick it up: it seemed unbearably relevant to the current political moment. A world where abortion is illegal and embryos are given more rights than the women who carry them—weren’t we already most of the way there? But when I finished the novel, I didn’t feel despair. I felt hopeful — and energized, as if someone had wired a fresh battery to my brain."
