Description
The Chrysalids by John Wyndham is set in a world where conformity and purity are highly valued. In this strict community, certain individuals are deemed to be "mutants" - those who do not conform to the norms of nature. David's father disapproves of Angus Morton's unusual horses, but what he does not realize is that his own son, as well as others in their group, possess a secret aberration. As they grow older, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to hide their differences from the village elders. The villagers are quick to label those who do not fit in as mutants, and these individuals are seen as threats to the purity of the community. David and his friends must decide whether to remain hidden or risk everything by fleeing to a more terrifying and unpredictable world - the Badlands. Their choice is fraught with danger, and the consequences of their decision will have far-reaching effects on their lives and the future of their community.
