A debut novel for readers of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Girls, The Birth Yard is a gripping story of a young woman’s rebellion against the rules that control her body

Sable Ursu has just turned eighteen, which means she is ready to breed. Within the confines of her world, a patriarchal cult known as the Den, female fertility and sexuality are wholly controlled by Men. In the season they come of age, Sable and her friends Mamie and Dinah are each paired with a Match with the purpose of conceiving a child. Sable is paired with Ambrose, the son of a favoured Man in the Den. Others are not so lucky.

In their second trimester, girls are sent to the Birth Yard, where they are prepared for giving birth and motherhood, but are also regularly drugged and monitored by their midwives. Sable is unable to ignore her unease about the pills they are forced to swallow and the punishments they receive for stepping out of line. Too many of the girls, including Mamie and Dinah, have secrets and it is impossible to know whom to trust. When Sable’s loyalty is questioned and her safety within the Den is threatened, she must rebel against the only life she has ever known—the only life she has been designed for.

Mallory Tater weaves an intricate narrative, equal parts suspense and action, while twisting contemporary social anxieties to dizzying extremes. She meticulously deconstructs the intricate relationships between womanhood, government and the female body. A startling and important debut novel, The Birth Yard echoes Margaret Atwood’s dark and cautionary classic The Handmaid’s Tale. But this is no dystopian world; there is no totalitarian government. The Den exists now.

My favorite this summer
Size: 9, Color: Red Leather, Size: 9, Color: Red Leather
These are very nice. I like this type of sandal with the "thong" feature while also having my foot gently hugged. These did not require much breaking in, seemed pretty comfortable from the first wear. I wore them to a high-end rooftop restaurant with a chiffon and silk maxi dress, and it worked really well, got compliments and all, though I have no good shots from there with these sandals visible. The red color definitely makes them pop, especially with black elements of the outfit. I also got them in black here, and in white from another store. Their shape is delicate, yet sharp and stylish, and they seem to be well-made. When I got these shoes, I took them to my artistic shoe repair guy, to promptly put protective layer on the front bottom of the soles. That way, it always looks like new, no scratched sole. That costs a bit, but worth it for me. I might buy a pair or two in some other colors, later. I am 5'10" tall, clothes size M, shoes - 9, 150lb. These shoes feel true to size.

Size up! Super comfortable!
Size: 10, Color: Black Leather
Super comfortable, can walk al night in them. I size up in anything steve madden. I’m usually a 9, but a 9.5 in steve madden fits almost exact so I get a size 10 in any of their shoes. Sizing is consistent throughout styles but I def need to size up. If you’re in between sizes, I suggest a whole size up. Unless you like an exact fit, personally I think an exact fit looks off any slight movement of your foot and the shoe looks like it doesn’t fit. I would say they’re pricey but they’re def a classy and comfortable pair of heels!
