A very interesting peek into Gilead, this time from the perspective not of a Handmaid, but of three other types of women - an Aunt, a future Wife, and a teenage girl from the other side of the border (Canada). This way way more suspenseful than I anticipated, allover an expertly crafted narrative, but I expected no less from Margaret Atwood.
My only complaint is that it didn't quite make sense to me why SpoilerNicole had to go to Gilead herself. She seems absolutely unfit, and literally anyone else could have done what she did.
