12 Books to Read If You Already Tore Through The Handmaid's Tale

Set in a near future in which humans have escaped a ravaged earth and created a new home that floats above the clouds, The Book of Joan is the story of the one woman who can save the Earth from a horrible iteration of humanity. She also happens to be the one that destroyed it in the first place. A wildly imaginative take on the story of Joan of Arc, Lidia Yuknavitch's novel illuminates the dark places that people are willing to go in order to save themselves and the risks that others are willing to take in order to save a cult-following, police state-like society from itself.
