It's been a while since I read it, but what I remember was the mother leaving her child with a stranger. That bit of unbelievable spoiled the rest of the book for me. I keep meaning to pick it up again and re-read it because it does get excellent reviews. The BC journal entry on my copy has some of those glowing reviews.
That leaving of her child with an essential stranger was different.I figured out that that is what one in that society would do. I was also dismayed by the materialistic world.
I liked the satire
Loved reading your JEs Zmrzlina. Thanks for sharing
