Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A hyper-realistic dystopian novel set in the future that portrays a society that has arisen from a world decimated by war in which a group of women, greatly outnumbered by men, revolt against being enslaved in multiple marriages.In modern, beautiful Green City, the capital of South West Asia, gender selection, war and disease have brought the ratio of men to women to alarmingly low levels.
