Come and join us to discuss this month's book which is The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood over a drink or two; most of us will be having a bite to eat as well. And don't forget to come with your suggestion for our next book.

The Handmaid's Tale is a dystopian novel, a work of science fiction or speculative fiction, first published in 1985. Set in the near future, in totalitarian Christian theocracy which has overthrown the United States government, The Handmaid's Tale explores themes of women in subjugation and the various means by which they gain agency. The novel's title was inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, which is a series of connected stories ("The Merchant's Tale", "The Parson's Tale", etc.)

The Handmaid's Tale won the 1985 Governor General's Award and the first Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1987; it was also nominated for the 1986 Nebula Award, the 1986 Booker Prize, and the 1987 Prometheus Award. It has been adapted for the cinema, radio, opera, and stage.
