I love dystopia and this was sent in my hometown! It is quite poetic in parts and timely. After seeing the picture of the 74-year-old Jane Fonda at Cannes, I turned to my mother and said, "Jane's an Heir." (

I've already forgotten what I thought about his book. It seemed derivative. In fact, rightly or wrongly, brought to mind David Mitchell's "An Orison of Sonmi--451" in Cloud Atlas. I don't think that Crone has completely imagined her dystopian futuristic society. Something is missing to make it both convincing & engaging. I don't know what that something is. It just doesn't, for the most part, seem "new" to me in its vision. (

Epigraph

Eternity is in love with the productions of time.

—William Blake

Dedication

This book is dedicated to

Dr. Anna Lisa Crone, 1946-2009,

brilliant, engaged, very brave,

my big sister—always close, even now.

First words

“Malcolm, I’ve called you in to tell you how things are,” my guardian began in that voice they all had—full of sizzle, like a rattle.
