Great read. Incredibly funny, endearing and thoughtful all at once. A simple story about creating communities and finding meaning after profound loss.

Brilliant sequel that does not let down. Atwood is economical with her words and provides evocatively different viewpoints from the Gilead. I’m not sure how much I would have enjoyed this book if I hadnt read the Handmaid’s Tale first. Both books are strickingly pertinent to current western politics and read as a cautionary tale of the fragility of human rights even in the most democratic countries.

Curious read with a bit of a bumpy start. Definitely interesting and insightful specific...The book did a great job of drawing interest into parallel dimensions

Chose to “Bookclub” this one with my kid. It’s a bit unnerving in terms of trauma as well as unhealthy family relationships...But it’s worth the discomfort. Non-duality- two but not two theme is poignant.

Read this in high school and just re-read it...still a relevant and thought-provoking parable that all young and not so young adults should read as a reminder of the worth of work but more so our dreams and passions.
