The Chrysalids | John Wyndham

If you enjoy books about societies where people can't be different then “the chrysalids“ by John Wyndham is a book you'll like. It's a book where if you're born differently you get sent away to a place called “The Fringes“, and odd plants get burned and weird animals get killed. The book shows themes of ableism and racism toward those different, the author shows this through writing in a system where those different are sent away and sterilized.

If you like books about a post-apocalyptic society then you'll enjoy the chrysalids, it's a book set after a nuclear war where society has regressed back into believing that the earth is flat and that and sort of disability or “deformity“ is a sin against God (including birthmarks). There are 3 areas in the book where people live and mutate. The book is told through a first person perspective from the main character David, using “I“ “Me“ and “my“.

MissYaremcio Thank you for the review Jordan, however as this was not quite adequate for the post, I would like you to resubmit it. 1/6 2y
