The Monsoon War

In an unnamed Middle Eastern country, government leaders maintain a stranglehold over women's lives and freedoms. But in a neglected southern province, a secret female resistance movement has been forming for years. Now, the Hamiyat are preparing for battle, as they plan a daring attack on the perpetrators of the central regime. Bina Shah's widely acclaimed feminist dystopia Before She Sleeps described a futuristic dystopian world where technology and tyranny rob women of their freedom and reproductive rights. The Monsoon War is the story of three courageous women -- a Wife, a Fighter and a Commander -- and the ambitious gambit they enact in order to free their daughters from the regime's grasp on their lives.
