The Handmaid's Tale

The What When Book List 1970 - 2020

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, 1985
Read this in spring 1987.

This was the first of many of her books I would read. It's a horrifying powerful satirical warning about a christian take over of society that's right on the mark. 

Looking back on it now it seems more possible then ever before.

I haven't watched any of the TV series on Hulu yet. It's on my list.

I have also recently read her followup novel The Testaments.
