Gilead is decaying from the inside, and Margaret Atwood's follow-up to The Handmaid's Tale answers the question left hanging at the end of that novel.
Three narrators, among them the formidable Aunt Lydia, give their accounts of a regime whose machinery is beginning to fail. Two young women raised on opposite sides of Gilead's borders find their lives pulled toward the same centre of power, and the novel turns on how far each is prepared to go. This edition carries additional material: questions for reading groups, plus a conversation with the author about the real events that shaped both novels.
What this edition offers:
• Winner of the Booker Prize and a number one bestseller
• Testimony-style narration that gradually assembles a single conspiracy
• Reading group questions bound into the volume
• An author interview on the historical sources behind Gilead
For readers of literary dystopia and for book clubs returning to Atwood's Gilead, available through Boipoka.
