This story takes place sometime in the future after the world had apparently ended due to environmental reasons. A group of women live apart from men on an island they call Foundland. They are trained to be hunters and caretakers of their land. They scorn men and blame them for pretty much everything bad that ever happened. They also are not to have anything to do with things of the past. They are to put aside they way they look, feel and any friendships. Little do they know, but just outside of their little island, the rest of the world (also full of men) call them Nomansland.
As far as dystopian young adult novels go, this one is pretty good. It's an interesting concept and even though the characters were hard to relate to, they seemed naive and very simple, so you ended up liking them because they just didn't know any better. The author left the ending open for a sequel, but I haven't heard of one yet. It was initially a slow start, but it soon picked up and was fairly quick to read through. I would probably put this on a recommended reading list of similar titles.
