‘When She Woke’ by Hillary Jordan. Author: Julie R. Enszer. May 8, At the beginning of When She Woke ( Lambda Literary Award finalist), Hannah Payne, the protagonist in Hillary Jordan’s new dystopian novel, wakes up in state confinement. Her body has been transformed by “melachroming,” a biological process that turns a convicted criminal’s skin a different color. The victim, says the state of Texas, was her unborn child, and she's determined to protect the identity of the father, a public figure with whom she shared a fierce and forbidden love. A powerful reimagining of The Scarlet Letter, When She Woke is a timely fable about a stigmatized woman struggling to navigate a dystopian America. In this not-too-distant future, the line between church and state has been eradicated and convicted felons are no longer imprisoned, but "chromed" and released. Published in , When She Woke is a young adult novel in the dystopian sci-fi genre. Author Hillary Jordan bases her work on a futuristic update of a classic novel – Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter. She also brings in elements from another well-known work in this genre – Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. Critics worry that although the story Jordan creates has flashes of original and inspired ideas, by combining these two much-admired works, the author finds it hard.
