Nyt en enää valvo öitäni miettien mitä tässä kirjassa tapahtuu.
Upea teos vastaamaan ensimmäisen osan herättämiin kysymyksiin. Kaikki mitä koskaan halusit tietää Orjattaresi maailmasta. Vahva aloitus, koukuttava päähenkilö. Mutta loppua kohden aivan liian helppo ja yksinkertainen aivan liian monella tasolla. Nautin, mutta ei tämä ensimmäisen osan tasolle yllä.

Well done
This was the sequel I’ve needed for nearly 30 years. I read HMT as a reading assignment, my senior year in high school, and was immediately captivated and horrified. Going to an all girls school, our copies of this book was passed around to almost the entire school, and many discussions were had over how great, yet wildly improbable it was. Little could the young girls who sat around lunch tables, in the student lounge, and in classrooms discussing it, have known how very different the world would become as we turned into adults.
The sequel offers up the same grippingly horrifying vision of the future as HMT, but also gives a glimpse of what happened at the very beginning of Gilead, and how some of the main players from HMT got where they were. I found Aunt Lydia’s story especially interesting, since I had such loathing for her in HMT. I kind of hated feeling some sympathy for her, but really liked finding out who she was, and what happened to her pre-Gilead.
