OK, I caved in and started reading The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. It’s another one that I read a good few years ago and am revisiting. I’m pleased to say that so far it’s just as good as I remembered. It’s the story of a woman living in a repressive society who is only valued for her ability to bear children. One of the things that I find particularly interesting about it is that she remembers what it was like before which emphasises her complete loss of control over her life.
