The Declaration

by Gemma Malley
$12.90 Now $6.90 Save 47%
The Declaration - Thryft
The Declaration - Thryft

A dystopian novel about questioning blind obedience.

"The Declaration" would be a good read for fans of dystopian fiction who enjoy stories with strong themes of rebellion and questioning authority. The novel's most unique feature is its exploration of the morality behind the concept of eternal youth, and how it can lead to the suppression of freedoms and the subjugation of individuals. Gemma Malley has created a detailed and thought-provoking world that will stay with readers long after they finish the book.

Anna Covey is a ‘Surplus’. She should not have been born. In a society in which ageing is no longer feared, and death is no longer an inevitability, children are an abomination.Like all Surpluses, Anna is living in a Surplus Hall and learning how to make amends for the selfish act her parents committed in having her. She is quietly accepting of her fate until, one day, a new inmate arrives. Anna’s life is thrown into chaos. But is she brave enough to believe this mysterious boy?A tense and utterly compelling story about a society behind a wall, and the way in which two young people seize the chance to break free.
