We all have to pull together, or we'll each hang separately. And what if we don't? Even fifteen years after handmaid Fred's escape from the Republic of Gilead, a brutal regime based on the enslavement of healthy women capable of bearing children persists in New England. The state of this rotten regime is now alternately presented to us by a trio of speakers whose views couldn't be more distant. The devout Aunt Lydia, as a co-author of Gilead's ideology, meets Agnes from the ranks of the local privileged, who, due to intrigue, finds herself in her convent as a novice. And approaching both from beyond the borders of free Canada is rebel Daisy, searching for clarity in her ancestry. The three narrators gradually uncover unexpected connections and the well-known truth that history mischievously rhymes. Czechs once experienced firsthand that even a world distorted by totalitarianism is not black and white and would not survive without the gray zone of private motivations. And that it especially cannot do without love, which will always be stronger than death. The long-awaited sequel to the bestseller 'The Handmaid's Tale.' The book won the Booker Prize for Novel of the Year 2019.
