I hate to keep giving books a “meh” review, but this I found the plot of this novel derivative, and quite frankly not very well written. The protagonist, Mary Engle, has just taken a secretarial job with the Nettleton State Village for Feebleminded Women of Childbearing Age, which applies horrible eugenic principles virtually imprisoning the women, many of whom have no impairments. An interesting topic, I just wish it had been handled better.
