lapisfig 's review for:

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

---

Chilling in the most elegant way. Offred's voice is quiet but sharp, and the way Atwood weaves flashbacks with her present is masterful. Every detail felt intentional, and the scariest part is how real it all feels. Like, it's not some far-off dystopia. It's a few bad laws away. I was holding my breath through most of this. Devastating and necessary.
