RELEASE NOTES:

I read The Road and found it to be an unsettling and dark tale. The Handmaid's Tale is as well, particularly so for women. The time is the future. The world's religious sects are at war. Women have been relegated to serving men and attempting to have children. Not many children are being born and no one really knows why. Our main character is trapped into serving as a surrogate mother in this new society and it is not a world she likes. Instead, she longs for her days with her husband and child and seeks to find a way to rejoin them.

It does not seem likely this will happen. Yet our main character has no other choices in this life that she now lives; she must either try to find what pleasure she can as the handmaid of another woman's husband or she must try to escape.
