I'm not a fan of futuristic novels. This one has even more qualities in my eyes! Margaret Atwood is a renowned author and warranted. It offers us the history of the United States, at a time close to ours. The women have become "bellies", whose sole purpose is to reproduce, in a totally dehumanized society, governed by the moral order and religion ... Awesome novel pilloried extremism, religious fundamentalism and sexist. This work is all the more striking and disturbing because it describes a situation that could very well happen if we are not careful. A must read is of great literature !!!!
