The Handmaid's Tale: The iconic Sunday Times bestseller that inspired the hit TV series (Gilead, 1) - Softcover
NOW A SMASH-HIT CHANNEL 4 TV SERIES
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She has only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.
Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful evocation of twenty-first century America explores a world in which oppression of women, and repression of the truth, have become justified.
