Stylist

‘Necessary and so of the moment . . . this is your go-to book’

Elle

‘In bristling sentences that strike with stunning efficiency, Leni Zumas shows girls and women defying the excruciating restrictions imposed by both law and culture. This is not only timely but necessary fiction –uncannily prescient, unabashedly political, and fiercely humane. We so desperately need books like this’

Emily Fridlund, author of History of Wolves

‘Hilarious, terrifying, and masterful – this pitch-perfect, timely novel reflects the horror and absurdity of our political landscape with a brilliance that ensures the book’s timelessness. It’s as riotously fun as it is chilling. Zumas has produced a poignant, wickedly sharp classic’

Alissa Nutting, author of Tampa

‘Sharp, bold, funny’

Esquire

‘This provocative exploration of female longing, frustration and determination couldn’t be more timely, and yet there’s nothing fleeting about it . . . Zumas has written a novel that’s political without being doctrinaire, that expands the dimensions of our most pressing social debate’

Washington Post

‘Leni Zumas here proves she can do almost anything . . . Red Clocks is funny, mordant, baroque, political, poetic, alarming, and inspiring – not to mention a way forward for fiction now’

Maggie Nelson, author of The Argonauts

‘The dystopian feminist novel for a new generation and a story that will rev you up to be part of the resistance’

Refinery29

‘Strange and lovely and luminous. I loved Red Clocks with my whole heart’

Kelly Link, author of Pretty Monsters

‘Powerful, beautifully written (and, at times, wry and funny) . . . Red Clocks is set to become one of the essential reads for 2018’

Emerald Street

‘Shattering . . . The characters are beautifully realized, inviting empathy and understanding; the richly realized plot is compulsively readable, and the theme, with its echoes of Margaret Atwood, is never didactic but invites thought and discussion. The result is powerful and timely.’

Booklist (starred review)

‘Red Clocks explores the way female bodies are politicised and controlled, with grim consequences . . . hauntingly plausible’
