Adventures in Village Cooking from Bulgaria's Forgotten Corners. I set out with a simple goal: to gather authentic material from Bulgarian villages firsthand, to have meaningful conversations with the locals, and to learn not just how to cook but how to appreciate the weighty, delicious dishes that define their tables. Instead, I stumbled upon something far more vital—fragments of humanity, a quiet persistence of spirit, and the flickering lights of souls in the dark. I wanted to listen and write without ego but with an understanding, however brief, of what the everyday looks like for the many people I met along ... |

Offred is a Handmaid. She has only one function: to breed. If she refuses to play her part she will, like all dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness.

Includes exclusive content: In The "Backstory" you can read Margaret Atwood's account of how she came to write this landmark ... |
