Ooh thanks for the recommendation, it really does sound exactly like what I’d be interested in. Will hunt it down on libraries

3 books in total. The first two I strongly recommend. The third one I found to be weaker. Warning - they’re a confronting read. But if you could cope with the Handmaid’s Tale then these are probably fine.

The synopsis definitely reads like a harder edged version of Handmaid’s Tale. We read that for literature in year 7 or 8 (still not really coping with the reality of it coming to pass in my lifetime).

Harder edge is right. Some very very acute analysis and interpretation throughout the whole series imo.
