'This sharply feminine and youthful challenge to legislative and social control is a worthy sequel to Atwood’s original'
Published by Chatto & Windus
As a book taught in school this was regularly presented to young people and became a favourite, not despite but almost for, it’s difficult subject matter and refusal to shy away from the dangerous rhetoric of sexualisation and dehumanisation young women were hearing for the first time. Switching between three points of view, the story brings into sharp focus the two sides, the brutality of the patriarchal society of Gilead and the shocking brief periods of normality in surrounding areas such as Canada.Aunt Lydia, who was depicted as a terrifying authority keeping other women in their place in The Handmaid’s Tale, recounts her initial trauma of being forcefully removed from her position as a successful judge into a world in which her intelligence would not be valued.
Meanwhile, Daisy has been raised in safety and normality, until her ordinary life is destroyed and academic exercises into the emotionally distant and backwards society of Gilead become far more urgent.
