The Book of the Unnamed Midwife

When I started reading this book I had that feeling of deja-vu and post apocalypse fatigue but within a very short time it was clear that there is something different about it that separates it from the rest. This is down to the point of view the book is written from. Not only is the main character a woman, which we've seen before, but the entire lens that the book is read through is from the female perspective. I have read many books where the fact that the main character is a woman only affects the pronouns used and other than that could be applied to any other ‘walking dead' scenario but this was a real study of what it would mean to be a woman in an uncivilised world. I really recommend it.
