Entrancing, yet unsettling read. Margaret Atwood's word choice is exemplary. I'm nearly finished, and will reserve the next in the series.
I haven't seen the series on Hulu or the movie, so I don't have anything to compare it to, nor see where this series is going yet.
"May the heart, in its exhaustion, remember to rest and indulge into the sweet memories of love songs resounding from its yesteryears.
These are the soft rambles that filled your mind as you lay awake in bed at the early hours of dawn. Those austere longings that snared your heart, relentless as the wind blowing on the trees, swift as the waves kissing the sand, tenacious as the rain chiming in with the beat of the music coming from your stereo, they are here—neatly scribbled and compiled into an anthology. These are your stories. The love notes you hastily jotted down at the last page of your high school textbook, the poems you composed during your weekend getaways, the letters you struggled to ink on stationeries while ardently wishing that one day, the love of your life will find and read them.
They are finally here. The long walks on the beach. The late-night conversations. The sultry kisses at the back seat of your car. The lingering glances. The love songs. The promises. The sweet nothings! They are all here, captured in prose and poetry. So, dear reader, bury your nose on the pages with utmost gusto. Whether you are a sojourner, a bold and willing settler, or a classic runaway in love, you’ve had your own share of sweet nothings, I am sure. Allow yourself to remember. Allow yourself to rediscover your youth, relive the love stories that ended, make peace with the pains they caused. Above all, allow yourself to breathe and celebrate the love stories that won over the years and stayed."

Browsing books in libraries has been the direct cause for me of discovering new authors, new genres, and just basking in a deep sense of content to be (in the restful company of so many books and book lovers).
Sylvia Plath, from “Three Women.”
Mikhail Lermontov, tr. by Alan Myers, from An Age Ago: “Testament,”
