I think it's a dazzling book. Poetic, wrenching, a must read.

If it wasn't your thing there's definitely another book out there that you'll love.

One of the joys of reading for me is the endless quest for stories that move me. Good luck on your quest.

There’s a beautiful bit where June (Offred) is talking about how she’s smuggled some butter to use as skin lotion that turns into a rather beautiful extended meditation on longing. It’s very sensual (in a puts you in the characters physical and emotional point of view) I found it very moving.
