PositivePublic BooksAtwood formally challenges herself to weave together three narrators, each with her own mixed motives and her own timeline of events ... Readers can easily follow this complex structure, because Atwood gives her three storytellers distinct voices ... Atwood offers a strong sense of narrative resolution and hope for political change. The results are unsettling. The book is an Orwellian dystopia given a Dickensian ending, with the truth revealed, identities discovered, and characters reunited. It is full of utopian hopes that may no longer be relevant, but that we must make relevant again.
