Excellent- More about The Handmaid's Tale
The Handmaid's Tale is a dystopian novel that explores a totalitarian society ruled by a repressive regime. It follows the story of Offred, a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, who is assigned to the household of The Commander, Fred Waterford, and her only function is to breed. If she refuses, she will be hanged. Despite the oppressive environment, Offred finds hope and desire and navigates through the terrifying landscape of torture and persecution in the present day. The novel is a powerful feminist work that remains relevant today.
THE SUNDAY TIMES NO. 1 BESTSELLER
Discover the dystopian novel that started a phenomenon before you read the Booker Prize-winning sequel The Testaments, NOW AN AWARD-WINNING TV SERIES STARRING ELISABETH MOSS.
Offred is a Handmaid in The Republic of Gilead, a religious totalitarian state in what was formerly known as the United States. She is placed in the household of The Commander, Fred Waterford - her assigned name, Offred, means 'of Fred'.
She has only one function: to breed. If Offred refuses to enter into sexual servitude to repopulate a devastated world, she will be hanged. Yet even a repressive state cannot eradicate hope and desire.
As she recalls her pre-revolution life in flashbacks, Offred must navigate through the terrifying landscape of torture and persecution in the present day, and between two men upon which her future hangs. Masterfully conceived and executed, this haunting vision of the future places Margaret Atwood at the forefront of dystopian fiction.
'A fantastic, chilling story. And so powerfully feminist' Bernardine Evaristo, author of GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER'
