Join us on Tuesday, November 21 at 6 pm for the sci-fi & fantasy book club. We will be reading The Handmaid's Tale. Refreshments are provided.
The November meeting of Newcastle's Sci-Fi & Fantasy Book Club will feature The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Set in the near future, the United States is now a mono-theocracy called the Republic of Gilead. Faced with social unrest and a rapidly declining birth rate, the regime rounds up fertile women indoctrinates them as "handmaids", and forces them to bear children to prominent men. Come for a lively discussion and refreshments that are provided by the Newcastle Friends of the Library.
