Finders of 'The Handmaid's Tale' posted pictures of the book to Twitter tagging actor Emma Watson
Actor Emma Watson made at least 100 book-lovers in Paris very happy on Wednesday as she wandered around the French capital hiding copies of Margaret Atwood's
The Handmaid's Tale. Working with a group called
