THE HEART GOES LAST - MARGARET ATWOOD KARTONIER...

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale   In the gated community
of Consilience  residents who sign a contract will get a job and a lovely house for six months
of the year-if they serve as inmates in the Positron prison system for the alternate months…  
Stan and Charmaine  a young urban couple  have been hit by job loss and bankruptcy in the midst
of nationwide economic collapse. Forced to live in their third-hand Honda  where they are
vulnerable to roving gangs  they think the gated community of Consilience may be the answer to
their prayers. At first  this seems worth it: they will have a roof over their heads and food
on the table. But when a series of troubling events unfolds  Positron begins to look less like
a prayer answered and more like a chilling prophecy fulfilled. The Heart Goes Last is a vivid 
urgent vision of development and decay  freedom and surveillance  struggle and hope-and the
timeless workings of the human heart.
