The Handmaid’s Tale

Very gripping read. Surprise, open ending. This book put the word dystopian into my vocabulary.
Oddly enough, when I was about half way through the book, I took an Uber ride with a driver from Afghanistan. His description of the way women are treated there closely matched the way they are treated in this book. The similarity was uncanny. Like we were discussing this book or the book was about the plight of Afghan women.
The open ended ending sets you up for the next book.

Today is lunch with some high school friends, tomorrow, lunch with an old Navy friend of mine.

Have a great day!
