One of the best dystopian novels I've read so far. I love how Atwood didn't really explain anything, instead it was shown merely by the protagonist's experiences. And it worked so well that way!
I don't agree with many of Atwood's political opinions (and therefore I, for my part, was reluctant to read this book worrying about it being too feminist), but The Handmaid's Tale turned out to be very differentiated and surprisingly unbiased – which makes me recommend it even to people who might not be so fond of feminism. ⚖️
