Short
Summary of the book:
The women have had enough and kicked the men
out of society to an island of their own. Now, the women are in control and the
world is a better place. Or is it? Men are only allowed to leave the island for
specific reasons. As seeders, they impregnate the women with the next generation.
Of course, only girls. As nighters, they act as male prostitutes, but no money
changes hands. And there are also the helpers, who help with all the jobs that need doing. But
is life as ideal as it seems?

books could this be compared to and why?

Book
Description by Author:
In the year 2060, the female leaders create a
new society that attracts and lures all men to large compounds called
“Islands,” cutting them completely off from the rest of civilization. Due to
the appeal of an easy life and a promise of sizeable monetary compensation,
thousands upon thousands of men walk into these “Islands” voluntarily, recognizing
that their gender and existence would be from then on under total feminine
control. In men giving up control, the planet was given a chance to prosper in
peace and harmony. However, since women still need men for procreation, sex,
and manual labor, the new system provides for certain classes of men: SEEDERS
for procreation, NIGHTERS for sex, and HELPERS for manual work. The new leaders
permit men, who are trained for these specific functions, back into society
strictly on a limited basis to perform these particular tasks.
Thirty years after this system has been
implemented, a group of female friends uncovers that the movement leaders are
genetically controlling procreation, not permitting the birth of boys, aiming
towards the total extermination of the male gender. Therefore, this group of
women unites to find a solution.
It’s pretty timely and will expand the
readers’ imagination on what could be an alternative time. In addition to women
finding my novel compelling, men could learn a great deal about the power of
women.
If you enjoyed "The Handmaid's
Tale" and "The Hunger Games," you will love EFFACE.
