** 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' Bernadine Evaristo, author of GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER 'This
novel seems ever more vital in the present day' Observer Includes
exclusive content: In The 'Backstory' you can read Margaret
Atwood's account of how she came to write this landmark dystopian
novel.
