The Handmaid's Tale
With terrifying understatement, this novel narrates the life of a college-educated mother ripped from her career and family to be a slave, in a dystopian United States too plausible to be forgotten. Forbidden by a fanatical government to read, choose their own clothes or appear in public alone, handmaids fulfill an awful purpose as the servants of wealthy families. All the while, however, strange new friendships emerge between the powerless and the powerful, as revolution glimmers on the horizon.

Uncomfortably relevant. The quiet, almost passive unraveling of democracy: “That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on.” Atwood captures how power often shifts not in loud revolutions, but in quiet compliance, fear, and confusion. She wrote a masterful warning of how easily people adapt to the unthinkable.
I’m new to this genre so I may be biased I just missed the excitement that I usually get from thrillers or romance. I do appreciate a new POV just not my cup of tea
