Native Tongue

Set in the year 2205, this classic dystopian trilogy explores a world where the 19th Amendment has been repealed, reducing women to mere assets in an economy reliant on skilled linguists. Women are conditioned to serve as perfect interstellar translators, but a covert revolution unfolds as they begin to develop their own language for resistance. Central to the narrative are Nazareth, a talented linguist, and Michaela, a servant, both navigating their paths to freedom amid the risk of exposing this secret language and jeopardizing the hope for emancipation.
