If you like books with alternate realities and/or future societies (such as Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale), then you will probably enjoy this book. It is set in Britian, approximately the 1980-1990s. In the book the main character recounts her childhood and past experiences, and how she grows to perform the duties her society has groomed her to fullfill. I won't go into anything too specifc so as not to give anything away. The book is fast-paced. The author creates suspense then immediately gratifies the reader's curiosity, over and over, so that each new revelation flows into the next. A very enjoyable, quick read, even with the serious themes on which the book is based.
