Surfacing, Life Before Man, The Handmaid's Tale
Margaret Atwood
Surfacing, Life Before Man, The Handmaid's Tale - Virago
Life Before Man vividly portrays three people in thrall to the tragicomedy some call love. Imprisoned by walls of their own construction, they are forced to make drastic choices after the rules have changed and the boundaries have become faded. There is Elizabeth, with her controlled sensuality, who seeks solutions in the wrong men; Nate, wry and gentle husband of Elizabeth, racked by an inability to decide; and Lesje, quiet and inexperienced, who prefers dinosaurs to most men. Hanging over all of them is the ghost of Elizabeths dead lover...and the threat of three lives careering inevitably toward potential catastrophe.
