Description: Review of the novel.
(January 01, 1986)
Toronto, ON: McClelland and Stewart, 1985. Man-woman relationships-Fiction. Grades 12 and up / Ages 17 and up Margaret Atwood, one of Canada's foremost authors, has joined an illustrious coterie of writers who have envisioned the future. Rather than the quasi-scientific books of H.C. Wells or Jules Verne, Atwood has delineated a social and sexual revolution, or perhaps more accurately, an anti-social. anti-sexual revolution. Taking the text of her sermon directly fiom Genesis 30:1-3. where Rachel demands a child of Jacob through her handmaid, Atwood leaps ahead to a period when the environment has been destroyed because of an entirely credible combination of all-too-familiar circumstances. The birth rate has fallen alarmingly and radical measures must be taken to rectify the situation.
