‘Our time together is about to begin, my reader. Possibly you will view these pages of mine as a fragile treasure box, to be opened with the utmost care. Possibly you will tear them apart, or burn them: that often happens with words.’
You hold in your hands a dangerous weapon loaded with the secrets of three women from Gilead. They are risking their lives for you. For all of us.
Before you enter their world, you might want to arm yourself with these thoughts:
Knowledge is power
and
History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.
