In her stunning novel, Hall imagines a new dystopia set in the
not-too-distant future. England is in a state of environmental
crisis and economic collapse. There has been a census, and all
citizens have been herded into urban centers. Reproduction has
become a lottery, with contraceptive coils fitted to every female
of childbearing age. A girl who will become known only as "Sister"
escapes the confines of her repressive marriage to find an isolated
group of women living as "un-officials" in Carhullan, a remote
northern farm, where she must find out whether she has it in
herself to become a rebel fighter. Provocative and timely,
"Daughters of the North" poses questions about the lengths women
will go to resist their oppressors, and under what circumstances
might an ordinary person become a terrorist.
