I'm enjoying this book. When you first pick up a book and know nothing about the plot it can be confusing. From the beginning, it seemed as though there are women that are trapted within these houses and forced to obey strict laws. Though as the story goes on, it does seem like prison, but the author says it is not. The narrator of the story is likeable and interesting to hear about her life. I want to know what set off this whole war. That so many women can't have children and what makes a woman unworthy/healthy to have them. The only purpose of the women in red is to, what.. get prego? The part I thought was shocking was the wall. They have dead bodies hanging there to scare people, but where we see doctors as respectable, it is completely frowned upon. People even denied being doctors and destroyed any evidence of it. Obviously, it must of been because women were having abortions and now that they can't have children they are getting rid of doctors. I'd absolutely hate living there. Having to get pregnant, wearing those red outfits, can barely talk or look at other people. Sounds dull and horrible. I'm wondering if something is to happen between her and her walking partner or her Commander's Wife.
I also want to know more about Luke and her daughter. She brings up many stories about Luke and things he has taught her, but never mentioned what has happened to them.
