The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This hits heavy given *gestures broadly* 
However it has some truly banger lines, and it's analysis of people's behavior has a very 1984 vibe to it. It feels like it's not truly unimaginable, and the way it goes through time fluidly makes it seem like someone recounting trauma. 

My only gripe is with my copy that had not quotation marks, so dialog could be hard to read.
