There's just one drawback: once inside Consilience, you don't get out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter weighing their limited options, Stan and Charmaine sign up, and soon they find themselves involved in the town's strategy for economic stability: a pervasive prison system, whereby each citizen lives a double life, as a prisoner one month, and a guard or town functionary the next. At first, Stan and Charmaine enjoy their newfound prosperity. But when Charmaine becomes romantically involved with the man who shares her civilian house, her actions set off an unexpected chain of events that leave Stan running for his life. Brilliant, dark, and provocative, \u003ci\u003eThe Heart Goes Last\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling futuristic vision that will drive readers to the edge of their seats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eMARGARET ATWOOD is the author of more than fifty books of fiction, poetry, critical essays, and graphic novels.
