Discover the dystopian novel behind the award-winning TV series before you read the 2019 Booker Prize-winning sequel The Testaments
'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 ...' Guardian

"What If....?"
If you ask me about my favorite book of all time, my answer is ALWAYS "The Handmaid's Tale". Although originally published in 1985, the story couldn't be more relevant to our society today! We follow the rise of the "Republic of Gilead", a totalitarian regime established after environmental disasters & declining birthrates. The "Handmaids of Gilead" are deprived of their dignity & freedom to live their own life. This 40th Anniversay Edition is stunning, it even contains a unpublished Essay from Margaret Atwood from 1986, where she shares her "What If...?" A MUST-READ for everyone!
