Publisher Description

An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from “the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction” (New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss.

In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate “Handmaids” under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred’ s persistent memories of life in the “time before” and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood’s devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaid’s Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.

Classic for a reason

Beautiful and suspenseful with romance, humour and mystery.
Couldn’t put it down.

Not quite a cliff hanger

Fascinating theory and very descriptive. The momentum just seemed to get going when the book ended. Left with many unanswered questions.

YA GIRL TBEAR ,

Background is weirc

Not a fan of the black background and white text. Makes me feel cross eyed. However it is a great novel
