(1) YA Glory ingests dessicated bat remains and begins receiving eerie "transmissions" from people around her--and scenes from the future depicting a Second Civil War, sparked by rampant misogyny, in which a white-haired Glory is a prominent rebel fighter. Magical realism broadens the novel's societal critique; Glory is deeply scarred yet buoyed by wry humor and thoughtful intelligence. Thoroughly original, uniquely compelling, and deeply memorable.
