    How did they solve it?
    (in their own words)

    From observing the picture I got a word like "Hand cleaner's tail" but I didn't get any books to that search. Then I googled "tale" instead of "tail" and I got the book named "The Handmaid's Tale".

    I searched Google for Hand maid book it recommended "Handmaid's Tale" I read about it and got the answer.

    I looked at the puzzle and thought that it was something related to 'hand' 'cleaning' and 'tail'. I searched for it but didn't get any result. Then I searched for 'hand maid tale' and got the results.

    I found the answer by the help of Google,I searched first hand cleaning tail book but I found the book as The Handmaids tale & for the  confirmation of book I searched about maid & I found it correct.

    By seeing the puzzle I tried to guess the book and I got the answer as  "Handmaid tale" then I searched for the author. then searched for " awards given for handmaid tale. Then I got the answer.

    I solve the puzzle by searching science fiction novels, then I got the name of the book.

    I searched google hand maid tail then i got the title of the book.

    I searched hand lady tale book then it was showing the hand maid's tale so when I thought, the figures were matching so I give this answer.

    From the given clues  ,'Hand'  ' maid ' 'tail ' ..I  searched in google for the cover page images of   science fiction novels .Thus I got the Title of the novel.

    first i realised the title was starting from hand/palm and ending in tale,after some time i got list of famous science fictions at wikipedia in that i searched for H and i got the tiltle and author ..

    Firstly I searched best science fiction novel and with the help of hint I got key words that were hand cleaner or maid tail I observed each novel  and I got this book which was exactly matching to it 

    Hand+Maid+Tale= The Handmaid's Tale

    The clues of a hand,maid and tale and also the Clue about the award

    I thought about it for a long time and I googled for maid's tales so i got my results. 

    I understood the tail and hand but I didn't knew the 2ndand I searched the image in google search image and found maid Then I found the author of this book and finally I searched the awards and got it

    I searched for the key words that i got from the clue. I got "hand" and "Maid" but not the third word.  But fortunately when i searched "Hand Maid book " I got the answer. 

    I got the clues like hand, maid, tail..then I reffered in google.

    "Hand and tail were easy to find .

    But it was a bit difficult to find is maid or woman . Finally I searched ""Hand and Tail"" got book named Hand Maid Tale."

    I searched a lot regarding a sci-fi novel with the name 'hand housekeeper tale and things like that. At last I checked out the results for the image with Google lens, and got the 'maid' part. 

    I found that it starts with hand and ends with a tale and with the hint that it was the first to recieve a science fiction award then I searched  about some famous science fiction awards and found it.
