Eleven Percent

Women now run the world. Men have vanished from society except for a small stock of males held at a breeding centre on Lolland, drugged and kept for reproduction and pleasure. Four women take turns to tell the story. Medea, a witch, lives with a handful of sisters, milks poisonous snakes for her potions and is hiding a boy she has brought up since he was a baby. Wicca, her lover, is a Christian priestess who borrows the snakes for her rites. Silence is still making amends for betraying a friend years ago, and Eva, employed at one of the centres, is guarding a secret. When the boy, now seven, escapes, the four are forced to cooperate, and the question is how long before he holds enough testosterone to be a threat to them all.
