The Olive Readers by Christine Aziz

# Paperback: 340 pages
# Publisher: Pan Books (May 5, 2006)
#Language-English





The novel reminded me slightly of Margaret Atwood`s books.Well,it has been far from her style but still skilled enough for a first novel.

The story unfolds in the distant future. There had been a Green Revolution in the past which helped the humankind to restore the balance of nature`s resources and averted the ecological apokalypsis. However,the pure principles of the movement were corrupted and the power was taken by a handful of commercial companies.Their main aim is to control the water and discover the secret of multiplying water resources.

As a whole,I liked the story. The book ban reminded me a bit of Bardbury`s "Farenheit":-)). The relationship between the sisters was interesting.The overthrowing of the Federation was a bit too easy.
