The Book of Flora is an LGBTQ+ fiction novel. It is the third title in Road to Nowhere novel series. This one is written by Meg Elison. She is a pretty decent essayist and novelist. The author has openly written a lot of stuff for gender equality and women empowerment. In novels, you will find most of her work to be science fiction and fantasy. Find Layla and The Book of the Unnamed Midwife are two of her top novels.
Shakina Nayfack is the narrator of this The Book of Flora novel. The subject novel series has different narrators for every chapter and none of them impressed as such. Shakina also failed to impress.
Flora in the wake of an apocalypse had come of age in an extremely gendered kind of a post-plague society. It was a place where the females were coveted, precious hunted, and as well as endangered commodities. But, Flora was not the one who would become part of the economy which had dealt in bodies.
Flora was more of an outsider wherever she goes. And that also included Shy, which was a thriving city with females only.
Flora along with a sullen young slave and a few of her friends left behind their oppressive past to find their definite place in the world. The sullen young slave was the one whom she adopted. They all sought refuge in a ship where gender was all fluid. The dynamics were very uneasy there and rumors could be heard all around.
The book has a great story which many people enjoyed in its paperback version. However, the audiobook experience became terrible with extremely annoying narration.
