Archetype - M.D. Waters
Emma wakes up in a hospital bed with no memories of anything before the moment she opened her eyes. Towering next to her is her husband Declan, who provides her with reasonable answers to all her questions about her former life, yet something does not quite add up. In her dreams she has memories of a past life that does not seem possible; the vivid dreams are of a war that never was and a camp where girls are trained to be wives. Despite these memories, she feels the need to repress them and knows she cannot speak of them, trapped inside the prison of her mind, she does not know what to do.
As time passes, Emma allows Declan to sculpt her into the perfect housewife and she begins to she him in a gentler light, even falling in love with him. Then, one day she meets Noah and she can no longer distinguish between reality and her dreams. In a future where women are a commodity, a scarce commodity, Emma has to fight for her freedom whilst trapped by the love of her husband and her worst enemy, unfortunately she cannot tell who is who.
This is an original dystopian novel with a brave female character who uses her strength of mind to outwit a world which she knows must be a lie. It shows the power of trusting your gut instinct and creates a scary prospect of revealing that your whole life has been a lie.
Have you read any good dystopian novels lately?
