![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Joy Preble: What drew you to tell this Handmaid’s Tale-esque story of rebellion against the patriarchy? What were your influences and inspirations? You’ve done such a thrilling job of making this story your own, but were you nervous about following in the footsteps of Margaret Atwood and probably a bit of Suzanne Collins as well? So what a thrill to get to interview Liggett about her novel, to see its origin story, and ask her questions about the story and its fierce characters! These thoughts come easily to mind, especially with Margaret Atwood’s just-released Handmaid’s Tale sequel, THE TESTAMENTS. I’ve been waiting for Kim Liggett’s YA dystopian, THE GRACE YEAR, ever since I was lucky enough to read a very early copy from the publisher! Like so many of us these days, I think a lot about the state of society - about what happens when women’s voices are subjugated and about what happens when they are not. ![]()
