Staff Pick of the Week is \u201cThe Handmaid\u2019s Tale\u201d by Margaret Atwood. From the book jacket:<\/p>\n
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she lived and made love with her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n Funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing,\u00a0The Handmaid’s Tale\u00a0is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and tour de force.<\/em><\/p>\n Thank you to all who participated in our Summer Reading BINGO challenge!
