Margaret Atwood - so prescient. We are listening to Handmaid's Tale as a book on CD

So many times, during listening to this book, we hear a passage - my wife and I look at each other, shake our head....

The last two years - so much of what is happening - or may about to be happening - is foretold in that book.

Creepy - and rather inconceivable in this day and age. Those who say "it can't happen here" or "it can't happen now" - sure, it can.

I know it's one of the streaming services but...Which one?

Actually, my daughter recently added audio books to my Amazon prime account, I think that's who she said. Would you recommend the audio book over the program? I've never listened to one.

and the first two seasons are available to stream on Hulu. If you don't have Hulu, you would have to buy it.

If you have Amazon Prime, you can read it for free, or buy the Audible for $9.99.

Also, check your local library!! I just did a quick search of my library and found Handmaiden's Tale in print, E-Book, and audio CD.

Good luck.
