It was a really interesting read. Although the story was about a handmaid in a town with an outbreak of the plague, the story is truly about a town's response to a devastating crisis and how some people rise to the occasion and how some people succumb to the stress and the unspeakable horrors that resulted. The question is "who can hold on to their faith and hope that they will make it through this year of unbelievable tragedy?"
