2024 book 166

 John Wyndham's The Midwich Cuckoos

Rainbow Rowell has been raving about Wyndham lately, and I trust her recommendations, and also enjoy classic sci-fi/horror, so here we are! I started with this one because it has an intro by Kelly Link, another one whose recommendations I trust. And it was great! Really great writing/narrative voice, telling the story of a small town in England where there is a weird event and all the women of child-bearing age (including at least one who seems to be in a lesbian relationship) become pregnant. Compelling and unsettling. A-.
