I absolutely *love* Atwood's writing in "The Handmaid's Tale" and "The Testaments." I'm glad to see that someone is able to shrink down the story into something more digestable.
A lot of these works we feature on this channel have poignant themes that are applicable to some of the issues we are facing in modern society. We appreciate you watching and commenting.
I read this book when it was first released, in the eighties, inspired by the Reagan administration. It's not one I wanted to read again. But I've been impressed with the renewed popularity with the miniseries and then the streaming television series. And particularly now, when what's left of the Republican Party seems to be striving to establish Gilead here and now.
I hate when a book or movie ends in a mystery where the reader has no idea how the story ends. If I have to come up with my own ending, I may as well come up with my own beginning and middle and not have ever bothered with it at all.
This is speculative fiction and there really was no "ending". It was speculating what could happen and it left it to us to think about and ponder "what if".

How interesting, I guess we can read it, or just wait, we may end up living it.

Just for information, Gilead is pronounced with a HARD "G". It's not "Jill-ead"...it's GILL-ead.
Thanks for the feedback. We'll make sure our editors catch this.

Isn't that the case for Afghanistan women?
And those of the Deep South.

Europe, Australia and North America, take heed.

Read Atwoods follow up novel The Testaments...it answers many of the questions left at the end of HT.
