Jael Richardson is q's books columnist. She drops by every other week to fill us in on a new book to check out. Today, she talks about The Farm, the debut novel from author Joanne Ramos. The story is set in a fictional spa-like facility where women agree to bear children on behalf of a wealthy client base. While that synopsis might immediately remind you of The Handmaid's Tale, Richardson explains why The Farm is a very different type of dystopian story.
