A review by mswarbrick
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
challenging
dark
tense
medium-paced
4.75
I only don't give it 5 stars because the content feels eerily too similar to the slow decline of womens right we are currently seeing in the US. This book is a foreboding tale, but also an expertly written and crafted story.
