Leni Zumas's Red Clocks is the book you've been waiting for in the wake of The Handmaid's Tale, and it's every bit as good as one might hope. In a near future in which abortion is illegal and embryos have rights, five women in the same town attempt to navigate motherhood in the best way they know how. But when their doctor — who happens to live in the woods and may be some sort of spiritual being — is put on trial, everything is thrown into jeopardy, and all five women must band together in order to survive.
