Description

In this special bonus episode of Dua’s Monthly Read for November, we sit down with acclaimed actor Elisabeth Moss, who brings June Osborne – better known as Offred – to life in the Emmy-winning television adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale.  Elisabeth opens up about the first time she read Margaret Atwood’s iconic novel, what it was like meeting the author herself, and how both moments shaped her portrayal of one of contemporary fiction’s most iconic heroines.  She also delves into the evolution of the handmaid’s costumes and how designer Ane Crabtree helped transform Margaret’s vision into one of the most powerful visual symbols of our time, representing resistance, power, and solidarity – both on and off the screen.  Finally, she shares her thoughts on the enduring cultural impact of the novel and why Margaret’s story continues to resonate so strongly in today’s world.  Buy The Handmaid’s Tale at Bookshop.org, Waterstones, and Barnes & Noble    Get in touch:     📩 Email us – [email protected]     📲 Follow @service95bookclub on Instagram for updates     📚 Subscribe to the Service95 Book Club newsletter – introduced each month by Dua – at www.service95.com     And don’t forget to hit subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.  Learn more about your ad choices.
