many years post-nuclear-war an insular Christian community where any child born with a birth defect is killed at birth.
review:
well written and fast paced Wyndham offers a disturbing look at the future we could have had. In this work of science/speculative fiction a disturbing possibility is brought to light, a community where difference is stamped out and everyone is brought up to believe that it is fine to get rid of anyone who is a "mutant", any deviation is brought to light and then destroyed by everyone in the community. I found this a very disturbing novel, but really well written. I recommend everyone read this novel, it is a very good look at the future that could happen if we just blindly followed our leaders.
8/10
