Acerca de esta escucha

For fans of Octavia E Butler, Margaret Atwood and Naomi Alderman, a thrilling, heart-wrenching debut novel from Karla Marie Sweet, exploring disparity of privilege, the quest for identity and the human need for connection.

When the External Womb Programme is launched, the news is controversial. Hundreds take to the streets in protest, feeling strongly that growing a baby outside of the human body is "unnatural". But thousands more people rejoice: at last, an alternative for those who wish to have children but worry about the physical toll it may take. A chance that throwing a baby-shaped grenade into one's career path might not derail it entirely.

For Lucy, whose acting career is finally taking off, the news is well worth celebrating. Could having a baby this way mean she can have it all? As she and her husband James embark on their journey, however, it becomes clear she's not being entirely honest with him and, as an old flame returns, everything is thrown into jeopardy.

Decades later, the use of external wombs is commonplace. But a corrupt government stepping into power leads to this groundbreaking piece of technology falling into the wrong hands, forcing everyone to reckon with a challenging new world and their place within it.

Performed by Erin Doherty (The Crown) and Kingsley Ben-Adir (Bob Marley: One Love), Another Life marks the arrival of a brilliant new literary talent that will thrill, entertain and challenge you from beginning to end.

This story is is so gripping because it explores privilege and abuse of power. So very haunting in these times.

Powerful, captivating and thought provoking

Great contrast between alternating timelines. The character arcs was compelling. Timely given current events. Well performed. It would have been nice to see more interaction between the main character in each timeline and their secondary and tertiary relationships. The state worker timeline with Omar seemed to develop his relationship with other character's better but would have liked more.

Kept me interested to see what was going to happen to all the characters and how the pieces fit together

Interesting dystopian story told in a unique way

Even though I felt there were some holes that you had to fill in yourself, I thought this was a well-written, dramatic, dystopian thriller. I do wish there was a better connection between the two main characters in the different timelines and it could have been juicier as well. I'm not an author but if you're going to write a book like this, you might as well go for it. That said, I highly recommend this for the unique storyline and solid performance. Well done!

Unique and intriguing

The performance was great. For those that like futuristic stuff, they will love it, just not my thing.

Too far fetched for my taste.
