Omschrijving
A fantastic, chilling story. And so powerfully feminist
Compulsively readable
Out of a narrative shadowed by terror, gleam sharp perceptions, brilliant intense images and sardonic wit
The Handmaid's Tale is both a superlative exercise in science fiction and a profoundly felt moral story
Moving, vivid and terrifying. I only hope it's not prophetic
