illustration by Erin McGuireI just finished reading the Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood for the first time & absolutely loved it! Surprisingly, I never had to read it in high school like most, but I wish I had. I can't believe I have been missing out on this world for so long. A marvelously written tale of a dystopian society that is both intriguing and frightening. Gilead and today's world aren't too far apart. Bravo!

Yay! Glad you liked it!!
Isn't it great? Very scarey but a great great novel.
Oh, I'm so glad you read it! I'm a huge Margaret Atwood fan. I had a fit of depression last year when I realized I had read every one of her novels. Then I realized they were just as good the second time around and recovered.
If you liked The Handmaid's Tale, I think you'd love Oryx and Crake. It's another future dystopia story.
It's actually the only Margaret Atwood novel I've read--despite all the acclaim the Blind Assassin received.
she's brilliant. my partner photographed her twice. incredible woman. cheers.
