I don’t know what I was thinking first time round with rating this 3. Listened the audiobook this time and LOVED it. Margaret Atwood is a genius and I also hate her for it. She brings everything you dread into reality. I think this is especially poignant for women because we all need to be more aware of the world around us, and how small injustices can add up to something much bigger eventually. LOVE LOVE LOVE
