The Unit

Resumen del libro

IN PARADISE, NOBODY CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM On her fiftieth birthday and now deemed economically worthless, Dorrit Weger is checked into the Second Reserve Bank Unit for biological material: a state-of-the-art facility where she will make new friends, enjoy generous recreational activities and live out her remaining days in comfort. The price? Her body - harvested piece by piece for the 'necessary' ones, until the day comes when she must make her Final Donation. But Dorrit finds her days at the Unit peaceful and consoling: she no longer feels like an outsider, a single woman in a world of married couples with children.

Until she unexpectedly falls in love - and everything changes.
