Some books stay with you long after the final page. The Unit is one of them.
Set in a not-so-distant future, Ninni Holmqvist imagines a society where unmarried, childless women over fifty and men over sixty are quietly relocated to a place called the Unit. On the surface, it’s idyllic. Lavish apartments. Lush gardens. Gourmet meals and every comfort imaginable, all shared among people just like you.
But there’s a catch. The residents—known as dispensables—must donate their organs, one by one, until the final donation.
When Dorrit Weger arrives, she makes peace with her fate, hoping only for a little quiet at the end. And then, against all odds, she falls in love. Suddenly, a future she’d surrendered feels worth fighting for.
This is a chilling, tender, and deeply human story—perfect for readers who love The Handmaid’s Tale and can’t resist a dystopia that lingers.
And the praise speaks for itself:
A modern classic and an award-winning cautionary tale, this handsome trade paperback is the kind of book you’ll want to press into a friend’s hands the moment you finish.
Pull up a chair, listen to the waves, and let this one sweep you away. We think you’ll be riveted, too.
I enjoyed The Unit very much...I know you will be riveted, as I was.
Echoing work by Marge Piercy and Margaret Atwood, The Unit is as thought-provoking as it is compulsively readable.
