This book fascinates me greatly. It 's almost a chance to present it now ... why? Simply because not only is not out yet but its output is not imminent. In fact, due out in March 2011, in the Anglophone world. But unfortunately, I tend to look ahead, and I could not speak. The first ARC are only now beginning to turn, and then we do not have a large number of comments, but there are some. And then there's the cover and the plot. I was captured by both. Elegant, graceful and magnetic in its mystery, with the bird cage and the first photo decadent and fascinating concepts in the second. This is a debut, no one except the lucky readers of the previews, you know how the plot unfolded was certainly ambitious and the writing style or rhythm sound to give the thoughts of this "chemical garden" (the name of the saga Chemical Garden). This book is a mystery, even the beginning of a mystery since there will be follow-up, waiting to be discovered. Honestly, I would hope to see him in Italy. Of course you can not make such long term projects but it is true that the publishing world is turning towards the suggestions of readers, bhe, allora date un'occhiata a questa saga voi che potete! Io aspetto e seguo le tracce, come una brava lupetta affamata! What if you knew exactly when you would die?
Thanks to modern science, every human being has become a ticking genetic time bomb—males only live to age twenty-five, and females only live to age twenty. In this bleak landscape, young girls are kidnapped and forced into polygamous marriages to keep the population from dying out.
When sixteen-year-old Rhine Ellery is taken by the Gatherers to become a bride, she enters a world of wealth and privilege. Despite her husband Linden's genuine love for her, and a tenuous trust among her sister wives, Rhine has one purpose: to escape—to find her twin brother and go home.
But Rhine has more to contend with than losing her freedom. Linden's eccentric father is bent on finding an antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking his son, even if it means collecting corpses in order to test his experiments. With the help of Gabriel, a servant she trusts, Rhine attempts to break free, in the limted time she has left.
