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.

"Compulsively readable"
"Out of a narrative shadowed by terror, gleam sharp perceptions, brilliant intense images and sardonic wit"
"Moving, vivid and terrifying. I only hope it's not prophetic"
