After roughly six months of avoiding fiction, I dove back into the mix with this book.
1) I love Margaret Atwood.
2) I am not entirely sure how I feel about this book.
I feel like The Handmaid’s Tale was necessary whereas this book felt like piling on. Tragedy porn.
The Handmaid’s Tale left a permanent mark on me as a reader, an activist and as feminist.
This one just made me feel sad and sick at times.
To be fair, it might be because of timing. I read The Handmaid’s Tale when the temperature of the country (United States of America) was different.
*On October 30th, I returned this book to my friend and decided to not finish it.
