Primer intento del año de recuperar mi oxidado inglés, en este caso leyendo la versión en novela gráfica de The Hand Maid's Tale, el conocidisimo El cuento de la criada de Margaret Atwood, y la verdad es que lo he entendido bastante.
La historia explica un mundo distópico de carácter religioso donde las mujeres fértiles son esclavizadas para dar hijos a las élites masculinas dirigentes del país, y aquí se explica la vida de Offred, una mujer que ve que como todas sus libertades son recortadas y su vida totalmente cambiada para convertirse en un útero andante con la única misión de dar hijos.
Como sabemos HBO hizo una serie sobre la novela, harto conocida.

Everything Handmaids wear is red: the colour of blood, which defines us.
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships. She serves in the household of the Commander and his wife, and under the new social order she has only one purpose: once a month, she must lie on her back and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if they are fertile. But Offred remembers the years before Gilead, when she was an independent woman who had a job, a family, and a name of her own. Now, her memories and her will to survive are acts of rebellion.
Provocative, startling, prophetic, The Handmaid’s Tale has long been a global phenomenon. With this stunning graphic novel adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s modern classic, beautifully realized by artist Renée Nault, the terrifying reality of Gilead has been brought to vivid life like never before.Age Range: Adult
Pues ahora que me estoy enganchando a la novela gráfica "por culpa" de mi marido y mi cuñado 😅 no me disgustaría leer este, ya que la novela me gustó bastante.
