The Heart Goes Last by Margaret AtwoodMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was great. I have always loved Atwood's speculative fiction, and this was no exception. It follows a couple who is really struggling in a post-apocalyptic world, who decide to join a commune. The commune seems to offer a stable and comfortable life, with the simple odd exception that each month the community members take turns being imprisoned. While it is significantly better than their life "outside", as they discover the truth about their new environment, they realize that nothing is as perfect as it seems. Atwood's writing, characters, and plot development were, as is usual, extremely well-done.
