Dark Lullaby | Polly Ho-Yen
1 post | 3 read | 1 to read
For fans of Black Mirror and The Handmaid’s Tale, a mother desperately tries to keep her family together in a society where parenting standards are strictly monitored. The world is suffering an infertility crisis, the last natural birth was over twenty years ago and now the only way to conceive is through a painful fertility treatment. Any children born are strictly monitored, and if you are deemed an unfit parent then your child is extracted. After witnessing so many struggling to conceive – and then keep – their babies, Kit thought she didn’t want children. But then she meets Thomas and they have a baby girl, Mimi. Soon the small mistakes build up and suddenly Kit is faced with the possibility of losing her daughter, and she is forced to ask herself how far she will go to keep her family together.

Just came upon this, never heard of it. dystopian world where infertility is at a critical stage sets up a world where parents are watched by enforcers. If you get so many strikes before your child is one they are taken away. A now and then scenario that makes you cringe if you are a parent.
