No estoy segura qué acabo de leer, vaya, me encantan las distopias de este estilo pero el tema del chile aún está revoloteando mi mente. Tal vez por venir de dónde vengo, me pregunto cómo se le ocurrió usar el chile a como lo usó a la autora. Buenas críticas al patriarcado con un toque de misterio. Sí me tenía con la preocupación de qué sucedería. No sé cómo encaja la secta ahí, pero parece que más raro, no lo hizo.

You know a book's going to be good when it starts with a woman testing the quality of a chili with her vagina. 

The end could have been better, though.

An exploration of The Time Machine's society with a Handmaiden's touch- a little over the top at some points (though I'm still trying to figure out if it was deliberate or not...)- overall good and quick read.
