Waterstones Says

This unnerving dystopian thriller, ideal for fans of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, asks big questions about how much of ourselves we are prepared to trade in return for a comfortable life. Luxury fertility clinic Golden Oaks houses a group of women in varying stages of pregnancy. But the babies growing inside them are destined for the rich and powerful and the women soon come to realise that their surrogacies come at a chilling cost. A prescient page turner with a lot to say about the human condition.

Welcome to The Farm.

Life is a lucrative business, as long as you play by the rules...

Ambitious businesswoman Mae Yu runs Golden Oaks - a luxury retreat transforming the fertility industry. There, women get the very best of everything: organic meals, fitness trainers, daily massages and big money. Provided they dedicate themselves to producing the perfect baby. For someone else.

Jane is a young immigrant in search of a better future. Stuck living in a cramped dorm with her baby daughter and her shrewd aunt Ate, she sees an unmissable chance to change her life. But at what cost?

Perfect for fans of Celeste Ng, Margaret Atwood, Naomi Alderman, Sophie Mackintosh, Christine Dalcher and anyone who loved The Help or Orange Is the New Black

I really enjoyed some aspects of this book but overall it was a bit underwhelming. It was well written and was an interesting character study but nothing really happens, I think it's just a question of personal... More

“Unforgettable”

This is an incredible novel! When I saw it described as The Handmaid's Tale meets Never Let Me Go I was desperate to read this and it certainly didn't disappoint. This was even better than I'd hoped,... More
