The Handmaid’s Tale left me unsettled in the best way. Atwood’s world feels frighteningly plausible, and the quiet, controlled tone makes the oppression hit even harder. It’s not a fast read, but the slow burn is part of the point — you feel how the extraordinary becomes “normal.” A sharp, haunting book I’ll be thinking about for a long time.
