Overview
Akin to the haunting subtleties of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and Lowry's The Giver, Natalie Corbett Sampson delivers in Aptitude a richly-imagined dystopian world, which seems scarily all too plausible.- Jo Treggiari, author of Ashes, Ashes Hessa is busy marking her students' assignments when the Protectors arrive at her door. Naive and confused, she's swept away by the city's authorities and imprisoned before she can even figure out what's happening. But it doesn't take long for her to piece it together once the Judicians visit her cell. Hessa is left alone with several horrific facts: A man she loves is dead. That man was not her husband. It was her fault. And she's on trial for the crime. Set in a dystopian future where everyone has a role to fulfill and no one is given a choice in their life's path, Aptitude is the story of a young woman's struggle to decide between two men - one that society chose for her, and one she's fallen in love with.
