the imagery is beautiful. i don’t know if i’m primed to pick up on motifs and ideas in atwood’s work as we went very in depth in handmaid’s tale for IB, but i’m getting it. everything makes sense, everything is so well crafted.
story itself is good. the premise/skeleton of the story is fascinating, especially giving the fact that it really happened! as for the added fictitious details, they felt so real and were so well embedded that the book felt both like accurate reality, or a brilliant work of fiction.Â
i would definitely read it again, as i’m sure i missed some details!
