Listopia: A book with a character who navigates infertility

[Laura Ruth]

There are at least two SF dystopias where an infertility epidemic drives the plot:

The Handmaid's Tale
The Children of Men

[Acidic Quagga]

I think I'll read The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman. It seems interesting, as it explores more than one couple's boon, going deeper to see the tragedy imposed on another by their decision.

[Rose]

Here is a good list with a broad range of books. I found a lot I had read and more than I would have thought on my to-read list.

More on the SF theme:

Who Runs the World?
The Quiet at the End of the World, which will probably be the one I read

[Sarah]

The Light Between Oceans was really good. The Choices We Make also fits.

[Britany]

The book I'm currently reading also works.

What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

[Stina]

It's been a while since I read anything in the Inspector Lynley series, but I'm pretty sure Missing Joseph works for this prompt.

[The Pampered Librarian]

The Surrogate Mother and All Your Perfects fit in here.

[Conny]

I was thinking Delicate Condition (on phone, no link, sorry), which the 12the season of American Horror Story was based on. Infertility is a central theme.

This one: Delicate Condition ?

[Theresa]

Ethan of Athos by Lois McMaster Bujold - part of a scifi series but can be read as a standalone - very good - planet filled with only men who uses an artificial womb and women's harvested eggs to reproduce - a thriller.

[LeahS]

I'm wondering about either Sandwich (because the menopause is the end of fertility) or The Other Mother

[AF]

All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover

Although it's book #3 in a series, I found a couple of comments in the reviews and questions that say you can read it as a standalone.

[Ellen]

I am going to read by Kristin Hannah.

[Laura Ruth]

Babycakes is book 4 in Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City" series, but I think it can be read as a standalone. Infertility is a major part of the plot.

[Charlotte]

The Hallmarked Man by Robert Galbraith deals with infertility issues. It's the latest in the Cormoran Strike series.

[Michele]

I'm listening to The Glitch by Leeanne Slade right now, and a secondary character has fertility issues in the original timeline (it's a time-travel do-over book).
