In modern, beautiful Green City, gender selection, war and a
virus outbreak have brought the ratio of men to women to alarmingly low levels.
The government uses terror and technological surveillance to control its
people, and women must take multiple husbands to have children as quickly as
possible. Yet there are women who resist, women who live in an underground
collective and refuse to be part of the system. Secretly protected by the
highest echelons of power, they emerge only at night, to provide to the rich
and elite of Green City a type of commodity that nobody can buy: intimacy
without sex. As it turns out, not even the most influential men can shield them
from discovery and the dangers of ruthless punishment. This dystopian novel
from one of Pakistan’s most talented writers is a modern-day parable. It takes
the patriarchal practices of female seclusion, gender selection and control
over women’s bodies, and recasts them to imagine a world of terrifying
postreligious authoritarianism.
