Why read it?
1 author picked Cwen as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Imagine an island off the coast of Britain, where a miracle has happened. A community run entirely by women—businesses, education, government. But now disaster has struck—the founder, Eva Levi, has disappeared, and forces are gathering that want to dismantle her life’s work. But someone else is watching, someone who has been there longer than anyone can remember, and Cwen will not let any harm come to the people of her islands… A subtle and intelligent novel, inclusive and wise.
From Una's list on speculative fiction crackling with feminist themes.
