  1. I have read “The Handmaid’s Tale”, This is an interesting book with flashbacks to the “before” period, the period before Gilead. It is also very interesting to know that this book was written more than 35 years ago, but it still relevant today. Although serious, this book really gave me food for thought in more ways than one.
