Review: Cheated - Book was supposed to be hardcover, I got a paperback copy!
Review: I was very excited about this book, having read The Handmaid's Tale only a few years ago, followed the TV series and watched many interviews with Margaret Attwood including several specifically about the publication of this book. I'm never keen to read a hardback so had waited until the paperback was available. It's just over 400 pages split into 70 chapters of fairly small type. I had some expectations of the plot but decided not to read any of the blurb. From the start this novel pulled in the reader. It is essential to have read The Handmaid's Tale first in order to be aware of Gilead. Life has moved on since the first book and we are now outside, looking in. There are three narrators, one is writing a secret account and the other two appear to be giving some sort of evidence to court. Everything is disorientating and MA wants the reader to be uncomfortable. The relationship between Canada and Gilead is difficult with the story showing the range of opinions in Canada - differences between the free world and the captive world are shown continually with Gilead being portrayed as evil/corrupt. It's fascinating to learn about Gilead from the very different experiences and understand some of it's history. The three females show their perspectives and varying levels of understanding. Aunt Lydia has adapted to save herself. Agnes is starting to question her environment and her innocence is used to reveal many of the horrors around her. Daisy is confused and unsure of her background. MA has a glorious way that she uses words. She has an extensive vocabulary of which she makes good use. The short chapter format could easily be distracting but isn't at all. The chapters are clustered together and alternate between the women giving the reader plenty of points at which they can stop and think about what is happening. The pace of the plot varies in the three accounts. One is very reflective and gives lots of back story whereas the other two are much more action packed. A huge fascination is that they have all been written retrospectively with many hints about the future of Gilead. As I was reading I have no idea the way that the plot was going to go. Towards the end there were a few plot elements which didn't seem to be necessary (infected arm and the inflatable to give two examples) but the ending was very satisfying and I loved how MA ties this book into the previous book so well.
