The Handmaids' Tale

I haven't gotten very far with The Handmaids' Tale, but it seems to be very interesting. Just from the first chapter I could tell that this is a dystopian novel. The narrator (I don't think her name has been mentioned yet), talks about how she is required to wear a certain color, go out at certain times, and is told who to talk to and who not to talk to. Almost every aspect of her life is being controlled and these are all signs of a dystopian society. Lots of questions are unanswered at this moment but they will be answered when I read more in the book.
