Author Margaret Atwood on Writing The Handmaid’s Tale - The Embrace Ambition Summit The Handmaid s Tale By Margaret AtwoodShe is best known for her novels dealing with gender issues. She has won numerous awards for her works, including two Booker Prize for Fiction awards. Every month, she must lie on her back and hope that the Commander will get her pregnant.
She suffers physical and emotional torture every day. Must be meek and religious. This reread was definitely helpful, although I realized that my experience is still shaped by the TV series.
Most of the plot serves to build the world of Gilead and show us as many of its aspects as possible. It did come at the cost of character development, but at least Atwood excels at world building.

The epilogue provides some incredible information, and we get to see the future of Gilead, too. Atwood created a dystopian world where patriarchy and theocracy turn women into second-class citizens. Although at first the idea behind this novel seems unreal and the novel is classified as Sci-Fiit Marfaret all extremely and frighteningly realistic. What makes it so scary is that all these things happened at one point in history or another — none of them were imagined by Atwood. The novel was published at a time when women were still fighting for their rights.
Having in mind the current political situation and issues such as the abortion debate, it is relevant even today. Written in a form of a diary, the novel is incredibly easy to read. Through flashbacks, we also get to see how this twisted world came to be. The characters could be developed better, and there could have been more storylines.

Still, for such a short book, the plot is quite good. Which do you prefer?
Great review. The TV series was amazing, I also enjoyed it more than reading the book I read the book right before watching the series. It presents another story and I think it helps to understand another part of the Gilead world. I would say The Testaments is more focused on character building. Stacked Always worth browsing.
