By: Margaret Atwood
Rating: 3 stars.
This book was tough for me to get into. The whole concept that in the future, civilization returns (unwillingly) to a master-servant-slave society where women are nothing more than child-bearing portals really doesn’t sit well with me. The author did a great job with character development, but that didn’t make up for the fact that the character, though developed, was stunted in how she was able to interact with the world at large, other people, and especially, that she was “destined” to sell herself to avoid banishment.
Don’t know that I’d recommend reading this one, though it was a good story.
