The event is happening on Tuesday, September 10 – the day of the book’s official release. In a review by NPR, we learned that men are just vague figures in the book and aren’t represented prominently. Instead, the three main characters that we follow are Agnes (a girl who rejects marriage from a young age even though she lives in Gilead), Daisy (a Canadian girl who hates Gilead), and Aunt Lydia. Yes, Aunt Lydia has a prominent role in the sequel. She’s a believer who is very crafty.Ī main theme of the book, NPR notes, is that women can hurt each other just as much as men can hurt women.īut the bigger spoilers were revealed by readers on Reddit.
You’ve been warned!įirst, u/thewolfwalker shared that Agnes and Daisy are both June’s daughters. Baby Nichole doesn’t know about her Gilead parents until her adopted Canadian parents are killed. (As far as we know, that is NOT Luke.) So she’s sent back to Gilead to meet with Aunt Lydia and learn about her heritage. And apparently Aunt Lydia is somehow involved in the MayDay rebellion group.
We also learn how Aunts came to be originally and the way they train new Aunts, coffeehater shared. “We are introduced to a new kind of Aunt called the pearl girls who wear silver dresses and fake pearl necklaces.
