“But whose fault was it? Aunt Helena, says, holding up one plump finger.

Her fault, her fault, her fault, we chant in unison.

Who led them on? Aunt Helena beams, pleased with us.

She did. She did. She did.

Why did God allow such a terrible thing to happen?

Teach her a lesson. Teach her a lesson. Teach her a lesson.”

- The Handmaid’s Tale, by Margaret Atwood

Ok I need to read this book, everyone here seems to say it’s a must -read

That book is pretty white. It’s another book set in the future where people of colour are non-existent (at least where the story takes place).

(I was also disappointed that this was classified as “science fiction”, but there was no futuristic technology, space travel, or non-human advanced intelligence.)

Also, there is a bit of an Islamophobic tone, but it may be my interpretation.
