In realtà sono 4.5, questo libro mi ha rapito il cuore.
Realistico (per me sì, mi ha fatto rendere conto che con un niente potrebbero davvero cambiare così le cose), nostalgico e con una narrazione fluida, che permette di assaporare la storia.
Non so se mi piaccia Bifred, ma il suo racconto mi ha spinto all'empatia. Per le vicende e per il suo destino di ancella, priva di potere sulla propria vita, forse più di altri.

This book left me with my own imagination and nightmares, for it's ambiguous ending. I will recommend this book as a must-read! Especially to both, who feel we as society and the world politics is heading in a right or a wrong direction rather. No matter what your thoughts are , this books will either give you nightmares or a very scary reality check. ...more

Storia pazzesca, ma lo stile narrativo della Atwood l'ho trovato poco coinvolgente. ...more
