The Farm is a horror story, not in the way of Stephen King, but because it offers a scenario that is plausible in our near future. Baby factories envisioned by upwardly mobile, cutting edge, entrepreneurs. Immigrant women chosen as the incubators for the product, housed in luxury while they produce. Given a substantial payment for their service. Wealthy couples who choose not to disrupt their lives or ruin their figures with the whole messy birthing process. We live in a real world when Kim and Kanye chose a surrogate to carry their third child so is this story really that far afield?This is a story that could run off the rails but author Joanne Ramos keeps a tight rein on her work and lets the story slowly unfold letting the reader become interwoven with the lives of the characters. Jane, is a Filipina and the mother of one child already. She has gone to The Farm because of the promise of freedom from financial troubles (forever). Mae Yu, a Harvard business graduate, is the brains and founder of the operation.The “Hosts†and the surrogates are called give up all contact with the outside world once they enter except for a few monitored video chats. As the story unfolds Jane learns more about why she was chosen and the story turns much darker as she frantically needs to find a way out. This is an edge-of-your-seat book that will keep you up until the wee small hours and stay with you long after you close the last page.
Mae is the stereotype of an ambitious rich American corporate executive. Mae runs the baby farm and always has an angle to make it work, make money and better herself. The book takes place chronologically over the course of about nine months. Mae is planning her wedding while climbing the corporate ladder. Regan is the young white upper-class ivy league candidate Mae is recruiting to be a baby farmer.The story is front and center and a page turner. We see the right amount of what each woman is thinking and what motivates them without revealing too much. It started slow and built to surprise me. The themes linger long after finishing it. It’s layered. It has messages and symbolism if you want to look for it. It deals with families, parenting, corporations, capitalism, and classism by telling a story.It’s an excellent book for a reading group and I wish there was a reading guide to go with it!
This book grabbed me from the very beginning. It poses an interesting premise - that of a virtual baby farm for those ultra rich people who either cannot or chose not to go through pregnancy. It's not at all far-fetched...in fact I would be surprised if it wasn't already happening somewhere in the world. That said - the story weaves together themes and ideas similar to other books: The Handmaid's Tale, The Nanny Diaries, Brave New World... and also touches on the current hot button issues of immigration and income inequality.In addition, the book introduces some very sympathetic and interesting characters. Jane and Reagan, two women who choose to be Hosts at the farm have very different perspectives on what they are doing and what the process does to the people involved. Coming from completely different worlds - their thoughts and emotions draw the reader in and create a strong connection. There are very few black and white answers in the book - even the "villain" is painted in many shades of grey.This book was hard to put down and kept me thinking days afterward.
When I began reading The Farm, it was with this question in mind: “Will it be too similar to Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale or Erdrich’s Future Home of the Living God?†In other words, would it follow the dystopian feminist theme of women being forced to bear children for the elite?Yes, it is that vein, but no, Joanne Ramos creates a unique twist on this narrative. The Farm’s target is actually capitalism gone amok. Golden Oaks, aka The Farm, is the brainchild of Mae Yu, a Harvard business grad, who launched it to provide mostly nonwhite immigrants with a path to move up the economic ladder. All they need to do is bear a baby (in a luxurious setting with everything provided for them) for the upper 1%. If they succeed, they receive a big bonus, which will take away many of their money worries.The key character, Jane, is a Filipina with a young baby of her own, and a yearning to give her child a better life. She and her roommate at The Farm, Reagan (one of the few white “Hostsâ€), are there for different reasons and we watch as their stories play out.There is much to love about The Farm. For one thing, after a slightly rocky beginning, the story becomes page-turning. I kept wanting to come back to it to find out “what happens next.†It’s also chilling, because it is not a far stretch to believe an enterprise like this could succeed when positioned as a “win-win.†And, it offers a fascinating look into the Filipina service culture. As someone who had a much-appreciated Filipina companion for my aged mother, the instructions verbally given to Jane by her older, more cynical cousin were a real eye-opener. The theme – the extent mothers go for their children – resonates throughout the book.It is not without flaws. The character of Mae Yu is a little one-dimensional and the epilog is non-organic to what we come to believe about her. A few of the characters could easily fall into that category too until we stop and think that it is the theme that is the driver here, not any one protagonist. For all that it has to say about wealth inequality, women’s agency over their bodies, and our lack of empathy for those who have less than we do, the book is very prescient. For sheer enjoyment, 4.5.
