I want to share those treasured moments with you." ~Jonathan Yogerst.

Life Enrichment Book Club on Thursday, March 12 Noon at Café LaBelle. Free Event. "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood. Set in the near future, The Handmaid's Tale describes life in what is now called the Republic of Gilead. The Republic is a mono-theocracy that has reacted to social unrest and a sharply declining birthrate by reverting to, and going beyond, the repressive intolerance of the original Puritans. The regime takes the Book of Genesis absolutely at its word, with bizarre consequences for the women and men in its population. Offred, one of the unfortunate Handmaids under the new social order, tells the story through her eyes. In condensed but eloquent prose, she reveals to us the dark corners behind the establishment's calm facade, as certain tendencies now in existence are carried

to their logical conclusions. The Handmaid's Tale is funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing. It is Margaret Atwood at her best. The Handmaids Tale is a novel of such power that the reader will be unable to forget its images and its forecast. No registration is necessary, and new members are always welcome. Books are available at Books and Company in Oconomowoc. You may be eligible for a 15% Book Club discount when you mention the Life Enrichment Book Club.
