Recenzii
Unnervingly
plausible
Anintelligent, thought-provoking, slyly satiricalnovel with thrillerish elements, it is alsoaffectingly illuminating about life for an expatriate service class
If you only read a single debut this year, make itThe Farm
It's so now. Ramos has crafted a real page-turner thatcombines all the hottest issues of the day: inequality, race, and women's battle to reclaim their bodies from commodification by big business, with the eternal questions of how much we can sacrifice before losing ourselves completely
Her book is a necessary one -we need a mass-market novel that shows the impact of colonisation.A great read
Utterly brilliant. I couldn't put it down!
Crammed with acutely observed scenes that place reproduction within an intricate web of class, gender and race
For those who can't wait until September for Margaret Atwood's sequel toThe Handmaid's Tale, here's a handy interim stand-in. Class, race and issues of power inequality are on the agenda almost as much as gender in this novel about a fertility clinic where surrogates have babies for the ultra-wealthy
Excellent . With echoes ofThe HelpandThe Handmaid's Tale,The Farmis tipped to beone of the biggest books of the summer, a page-turner which strikes an entertaining balance between exploring topical issues and telling a great story with thoroughly likeable characters
You can't move for feminist dystopias in these Atwoodian times.Joanne Ramos's debut is one of the best
Intelligent and finely written... Powerful
A narrative resembling a cross betweenRosemary's Babyand Dave Eggers's tech thrillerThe Circle.Addictive, thought-provoking entertainment
An easy read that raises difficult, capital-I issues. There's plenty to unsettle here
A newHandmaid's Tale
It's a provocative idea, and Ramos nails it.Crisp and believable, this smart debut links the poor and the 1 percent in a unique transaction that turns out to be mutually rewarding
Chillingly plausible
Couldn't be more relevant or timely
Unnervingly plausible
Everything has a price in thispromising and compellingdystopian debut
Billed asthe newHandmaid's Tale, Joanne Ramos's debut follows a luxury yet terrifying retreat for surrogate mothers
Ramos is good at making the dystopian feel contemporary, or perhaps that should be the other way round . Ramos's debutsmuggles a sharp attack on America's entrenched inequality into aHandmaid's Tale-style chiller about surrogacy
An excoriation of capitalist exploitation, for dystopian darkness and sinister consequences . Timely, resonant, morally complex
Brilliantly cutting
A knock-out debut novel
Wow...Truly unforgettable
Joanne Ramos' tender, trenchant debutchillingly explores a dystopian futurewhere race, class, power and poverty all play their part in paid-for pregnancies
One of the most hotly anticipated debuts this year - and for good reason
Smart and thought-provoking
An unsettling, unputdownable read
The first debut of 2019 to grab the top spot for me ... Don't miss this one
The Farmterrifies with a simple question:How much of ourselves are we willing to sell?Withcharacters so real they leap off the page, Ramos yanks the reader into a world of Haves and Have-Nots, and her question lingers long after we turn the final page
Amazing. It's hard to explain whatThe Farmis about, becauseit's about everything a book SHOULD be about. Race and class and power and inequality, and it's dark & funny ALL AT THE SAME TIME
Ramos has writtena firecracker of a novel,at once caustic and tender, page-turning and thought-provoking.This is a fierce indictment of the vampiric nature of modern capitalism, which never loses sight of the very human stories at its center.Highly recommended
The debut to order now... ThinkNever Let Me GomeetsThe Handmaid's Tale
Ahighly original and provocativestory about the impossible choices in so many women's lives.These characters will stay with me for a long time
Consider thisThe Handmaid's Taleof 2019. In the vein ofThe Circle, but somehow more penetrating and realistic
Ramos creates a believable dystopian future where poor women try to make money and change their societal standing by offering up their bodies to house and deliver healthy babies for the rich. The novel alternates perspectives between four women and provides notes on fundamental inequalities
Excellent, both as a reproductive dystopian narrative and as a social novel about women and class
A delicately paced and finely wrought tale .A biting critique of the world's inequalities. Moving, ethically complex and gripping,The Farmisa great novel
Compelling .Will really make you think
It reads like a thriller but it ishard-hitting about race, money and inequality
We loved this book
