About this listen

In the gripping sequel to the Philip K. Dick Award-winning novel The Book of the Unnamed Midwife, one woman undertakes a desperate journey to rescue the future.

Etta comes from Nowhere, a village of survivors of the great plague that wiped away the world that was. In the world that is, women are scarce and childbearing is dangerous...yet desperately necessary for humankind's future. Mothers and midwives are sacred, but Etta has a different calling. As a scavenger. Loyal to the village but living on her own terms, Etta roams the desolate territory beyond: salvaging useful relics of the ruined past and braving the threat of brutal slave traders, who are seeking women and girls to sell and subjugate.

When slavers seize those she loves, Etta vows to release and avenge them. But her mission will lead her to the stronghold of the Lion - a tyrant who dominates the innocent with terror and violence. There, with no allies and few weapons besides her wits and will, she will risk both body and spirit not only to save lives but also to liberate a new world's destiny.

I want to thank Meg Elison for giving me hours of enjoyment while traveling to and from work. Its especially special to be able to download free from Amazon with Kindle Unlimited as it is frustrating to find quality audiobooks.
Great storyline and vivid descriptions make this series a need to read/listen.
Thanks!

The unnamed most wife and the book of Etta are an amazing piece of fiction hard to listen to at times due to the content but a clever story - the plot - imagination - the writing so skilled xxxx

Amazing such a talented writer

Hi I love your books, the story was gripping and heart felted, thanks for such a excellent journey into the possible future but tell me there is another book to complete the story. Thanking you again.

Excellent story

Disappointed.
It's not a patch on the first book, if you ask me. Shame, because it began it so strong as well. I was really looking forward to it.
The story just kind of plodded along, and I didn't really gel with the characters.
I mean, it wasn't terrible. The writing was fine, but that's as far as it went.

Hopefully part three is a return to form, but I definitely need a break for a few weeks before going back in.
These books dig into your time.

Three stars

Starts strong... then... meh.
