Story
Miranda Reynolds has lost her home, her job and her husband - all thanks to an economic collapse that has brought America to its knees. The shops are empty; the streets no longer safe. Miranda and her daughter, Emma, have nowhere left to turn. There is one final hope, a self-sufficient haven for women who want to live a life free from men. Femlandia. For Miranda, the secluded Femlandia is a last resort. Life outside the gates is fraught with danger, but there’s something just as sinister going on within.

Forced to work together, Tess and Eliot have to find a way to re-trap the devil before he kills everyone they know and love, including, increasingly, each other.

Out they came, away from natural predators, nesting in damp corners and in the tops of trees, crossbreeding with common cousins and laying thousands upon thousands of eggs. 'Then...the eggs hatched and an army of hungry caterpillars spread their tiny toxic threads on every breath of wind.’ The threads spell doom for humanity - half of it, at least. All around the world, men are dying in their sleep or turning into rage-fuelled killers. The world, as we know it, ends. However, humanity adapts and society moves on.

To control the past, they edited history. To control the future, they edited literature. London, 1953, Coronation year - but not the Coronation of Elizabeth II. Thirteen years have passed since a Grand Alliance between Great Britain and Germany was formalised. George VI and his family have been murdered and Edward VIII rules as king. Yet, in practice, all power is vested in Alfred Rosenberg, Britain's Protector. The role and status of women is Rosenberg's particular interest.

He’s starting to see the world, and those around him, even those he loves most, in whole new ways. The truth is, Logan’s genome has been hacked.

Summary
Bloomsbury presents Girl One by Sara Flannery Murphy, read by Jesse Vilinsky.
Orphan Black meets Margaret Atwood by way of Naomi Alderman in this brilliantly twisty high-concept thriller.
Josephine Morrow is Girl One. The first of nine ‘Miracle Babies’ conceived entirely without male aid or intervention, and raised on an experimental commune known as the Homestead.
After a suspicious fire at the ranch kills both the doctor behind the pioneering experiment and one of the youngest of the girls, the mothers and their children are scattered across the country, some embracing the media spotlight, others – like Josephine’s mother – refusing to talk about it.
Now years later, Josie is studying medicine, following in the footsteps of her beloved mentor, when she is called home to discover that her mother has vanished, her house left wrecked. Josie sets off on a desperate road trip, attempting to track down her estranged sisters, who seem to hold the keys to her mother’s disappearance. But she soon discovers that not all the girls have been able to build new lives for themselves and that someone out there is determined to stop her reaching the truth about exactly what happened at that ranch – and where her mother is now.

Interesting but overdone
While the storyline and concept were interesting I struggled with the constant annoying descriptions of the main character’s world view that paused an otherwise gripping narrative. There were times when how Girl 1 felt were relevant, however having her innermost feelings and thoughts interrupting a fast paced series of events soon became an annoying feature of the book that I would have started to skim if reading in hard copy to get to the point and keep the momentum of the story.

Plotless and rambling
The author appears to have less than a secondary school knowledge of genetics which gets the book of to a bad start.
The prose on its own is quite beautiful, but the plot a point of each chapter did nothing to engage me.
The premise of chasing an unknown threat just doesn’t ring true.
