Product Description

gt-teacher from Urbana, Illinois
This is my favorite book. It is delightful, disgusting, intriguing, exaggerated, and true. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

New York Times Book Review.
‘Less well known than The Handmaiden’s Tale but just as apocalyptic in [its] vision’ --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A highly enjoyable if occasionally maddening book, 23 May 2002
This review is from: Native Tongue (Paperback)
I found this book both exasperating and highly enjoyable. I kept wanting to argue with the author about her main premiss but it was so well written it carried me along. Like its sequel, Judas Rose, it is set in a world where the backlash against women's liberation has pushed women back to the position of the early nineteenth century. It centres around the efforts of a group of women to develope a women's language, a language which they believe will change perception and alter reality when it begins to be widely spoken. I found it helped not to think too much about this proposition or look too closely at the examples of the language provided. By just assuming they had something that worked as advertised I could enjoy the story, the many twists and turns and the unexpected, but satisfying, conclusion.
