Il racconto dell'ancella

Atwood's world-building feels so detailed and unsettling. I'm curious whether she drew from specific historical regimes or crafted it entirely from imagination.

Her internal voice gave me chills, but sometimes I wondered if the slower moments took away from the story's tension. What did others think about the pacing?

The conclusion felt open to multiple interpretations. I’d love to hear what others took away from the final scenes and what it might mean for the characters' futures.
