The Miracle Inspector
By Helen Smith
In the near future, London has become
an oppressive society, one in which women are not allowed out of the home to
work or even socialize with other women. Lucas and Angela is a young couple who
have become restless in this society, Angela is tired of being a captive in her
own home while Lucas is tired of working as the miracle inspector and facing
day in and day out of women fabricating miracles just so they can have some
company. Soon they decide they will try to escape London throwing them into
more conflicts then they had imagined.
Helen Smith writes novels with a
wicked sense of humor; anywhere from dark humor to crude nothing is safe when
Helen Smith begins a novel. This novel is a little different with a lot less of
the absurd content, though it is not what I expected from the author I found
myself falling in love with this story. Now granted, I am a sucker for a
dystopian novel, but this novel is so realistic it is scary. The women are
sheltered from the cruel world and the dangerous men who live in it they are
not beaten or abused just sheltered to the point they are not allowed to leave
the house. Unlike many dystopian novels this one does not lean towards the
extreme or the science fiction making it unique and definitely an interesting
read.
