The ultimate male fantasy is rather flat &amp; boring. 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood is told from the point of view of an unnamed narrator. It takes place in a USA where there has been an overthrown government and everything is now dystopian. Our girl is 33 yrs old &amp; a handmaid, whose only purpose is to give birth. Life is very different: family structures changed, super totalitarian (everyone is watched), a lot of violence (capital punishment/suicide/torture), monotonous routine &amp; a sprinkle of religiosity. It has very short chapters interspersed with her recollections of the past plus a little future historical context right at the end. Would love to hear your feedback and appreciate any support you wish to give :) Timeline: (00:00:00) Intro (00:02:46) Themes/Questions (00:24:30) Author &amp; Extras (00:27:30) Summary (00:29:43) Value 4 Value (00:31:30) Join Live!
