Widowland by C.J. Carey

Widowland by C.J. Carey is a chilling and brilliantly imagined dystopian novel set in an alternate 1950s Britain a nation ruled by Nazi ideology after a "peaceful" alliance with Hitler. In this regime, literature is censored, women are classified by usefulness, and aging single women are relegated to a forgotten district called Widowland.

Rose Ransom, a government official tasked with rewriting classic texts to align with party propaganda, begins to question everything she’s been taught. As whispers of rebellion grow louder, Rose must choose between silent survival and dangerous defiance.
