* Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Atwood’s classic dystopian novel of a terrifying plausible future. The novel is as relevant today as ever; feminist backlashes continue to wax and wane, but women’s rights remain in the spotlight.
The Handmaid’s Tale is ultimately a hopeful book offred, simply cannot be human without the possibility of hope, and therein lies the strength of the resistance. All of Atwood is worth reading, but this book best exemplifies the cultural and psychological impact that a work of fiction can create.

*End of Loneliness by Benedict Wells
In an age when the double tap is so often the fastest path to fame there is something appealingly old-fashioned about a literary success story. This holds especially true for the tale of ”Benedict” Wells the 35-year-old German wunderkind who survived a downright Dickensian childhood before emerging as a cultural sensation in his native country.
”Wells” was only 6 when illness and financial troubles shattered his household forcing his parents to send their three children to state-run Bavarian boarding schools. This early experience informs ”Wells’s uber”personal new novel an international phenomenon that won the European Union Prize for literature.
