Join CFL Book Club in the community room on Monday, September 23 at 6:30pm for a discussion of Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale". Frequently a target of challenges and bans since its publication in 1998 and more recently as trends rise according to the American Library Association. About the Book:
In Margaret Atwood’s dystopian future, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War. The result is the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of Gilead’s commanders. Deprived of her husband, her child, her freedom, and even her own name, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive. At once a scathing satire, an ominous warning, and a tour de force of narrative suspense, The Handmaid’s Tale is a modern classic.
