DISCOVER the BESTSELLING DYSTOPIAN NOVEL behind the AWARD-WINNING TV SERIES
Second season now airing on Channel 4 starring Elisabeth Moss
The official TV tie-in edition of The Handmaid's Tale, with a new introduction from Margaret Atwood
'I believe in the resistance as I believe there can be no light without shadow; or rather, no shadow unless there is also light.'
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.
'As relevant today as it was when Atwood wrote it...no television event has hit such a nerve ...The Handmaid's Tale is more relevant one year after the first season' - Guardian
'Don't expect to be gripped by a more potent or involving drama this year' - Telegraph

If you want to experience women's rage and find yet another reason to be angry at the systems built by and for men read this book. The book shows just how terrifyingly close our reality can come to the dystopia inside its pages. It’s a warning not just fiction.

Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale is a gripping page-turner that keeps readers on edge with its haunting dystopian world and relentless suspense. The emotional depth of the characters makes it impossible not to form a deep connection with their struggles and hopes, drawing readers further into the story. Its powerful narrative and unflinching exploration of control, resistance, and humanity leave a lasting impression.
