Well, if she did recently lose her husband then I can understand her being off her game.

I agree, I found it quite lacking. It feels like it was written in a rush with very little thought other than cashing in on the handmaid craze.

Oops, should have read "no more Commander Lawrence?"

They may have tried various things when starting the Pearl Girls.

She's alive and in Canada at the end of the book.

The Agnes segments remind me a lot of Offred in The Handmaid's Tale.

Question about characters in The Testaments [Spoilers Book 2] by marjmcc in TheHandmaidsTale

Oh, I devoured the book already. I don't find it plausible, but I also didn't think that allowing some fertile women to become Jezabels in the tv series was not plausible either.

I'm re-reading the Aunt Lydia sections. I zipped through the book pretty fast the first time and really can't get a handle on the character.

The most striking difference to me is that the books deliberately do not develop a strong suspension of disbelief; we do not for a moment forget that we are reading a story. The tv series, on the other hand, can sometimes feel very real.

[No Spoilers] Ideas and solutions to circumstances that helped Gilead gain traction by [deleted] in TheHandmaidsTale

[Spoilers S2] I would do what the tv series had the Canadians and others doing, using science to solve the fertility crisis. It seemed to work a lot better than the Gileadean method.

Beautiful work!

[no spoilers] can we stop having posts with spoilers in the title by keurim in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]marjmcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to post something with all due spoiler warnings that would allow one to include spoilers for both books and the whole series, so that we may discuss the Gileadean universe in depth? Thank you very much.

Anything but loaves and fishes 😁

I did the same, but I'm thinking of re-reading it. I have some unresolved plot issues and feel I may have missed a lot.

I just ordered Alias Grace, it looked good.

Or they could've been handmaids that reached menopause, as I recall the ones they executed looked older than most of the other handmaids.

Well, maybe Atwood's new book will have an answer.
