In 'The Heart Goes Last', Margaret Atwood introduces us to Stan and Charmaine, a couple who, after losing their home due to the economic crisis, find themselves involved in the Positron Project. This social experiment promises stability: they will live in the idyllic city of Consilience, where half of the residents enjoy freedom while the other half is confined to the Positron Penitentiary. Each month, they exchange roles. However, they will soon discover that Consilience is not the paradise they expected, and they will be caught up in a series of adventures that will test their deepest values and feelings. With her characteristic biting humor, Atwood offers us a reflection on the modern couple and the intricacies of desire and control.
