We’re dipping our toes into the backlist today to highlight a slightly underappreciated series by Handmaid’s Tale author Margaret Atwood–and we promise it’s an older series absolutely worth checking out! Read on to learn a bit about the summary of the first book in this post-apocalyptic series. Will you be adding it to your TBR?
**
Snowman, known as Jimmy before mankind was overwhelmed by a plague, is struggling to survive in a world where he may be the last human, and mourning the loss of his best friend, Crake, and the beautiful and elusive Oryx whom they both loved. In search of answers, Snowman embarks on a journey—with the help of the green-eyed Children of Crake—through the lush wilderness that was so recently a great city, until powerful corporations took mankind on an uncontrolled genetic engineering ride. Margaret Atwood projects us into a near future that is both all too familiar and beyond our imagining.
