The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Margaret Atwood<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

If you take away the epilogue, this novel tells an unbelievably miserable story of confinement and misogynistic rule. In the near future, the United States is overthrown by the pernicious Sons of Jacob, who then establish the Republic of Gilead. The bank accounts of women and other undesirables are frozen, and a group known as Handmaids become the hosts for the future children of the ruling class. Atwood\u2019s prose is beautiful and chilling, as always.<\/p>\n
