Hag-Seed Free Audiobook Download by Margaret Atwood
Not since 1984's The Handmaid's Tale has Margaret Atwood written such a terrifying story. Set in a futuristic dystopia where the government takes away personal freedom and makes women breeders, it's about powerful women fighting for their lives.
"Hag-Seed" is an audiobook of a dystopian novel by the award-winning author, Margaret Atwood. First published in 1985, "Hag-Seed" explores a post-apocalyptic world where women labor in horrific conditions while men indulge in power and privilege.
Hag-Seed is a visceral, heart-pounding look at what life is like in a dystopia where women are artificially created and controlled by men. Hildur and Eilis are very different from one another. One is a clone - the other was purposefully engineered to be perfect - but they share one thing: their quest for freedom.
Hag-Seed is the story of a world where women have been systematically eliminated. The narrator, Oryx, is one of the last remaining women on this earth and changes her mind about how she lives her life when she sees her daughter growing up in an oppressive society built by men.
Margaret Atwood’s latest novel, Hag-Seed, is a gripping and imaginative story of the not-too-distant future. The protagonist, Tess, is a seer who can see into the past as well as into her own future. When she learns that her niece has been killed to avoid prophecies that would have destroyed humanity, she teams up with an agoraphobic and a detective to prevent the same fate for mankind.
HAG-SEED is the first book of a trilogy set in an imagined future. Biologist Dr. Cassandra Latham and her teenage daughter are living on a remote farm in Northern Ontario when they are visited by the Milkman, who wakes them up to reveal that there's a terrible plague sweeping the globe. The milkman tells them that he can save humanity if they will only have sex with him and bear his children, but Cassandra refuses, as do her daughters.
