About this product

Product Information

This is a book to read when young - a compulsive, fierce and terrifying novel that you will not forget ** 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.

    well written

    This book kept me transfixed until I finished it, I couldn't put it down. An easy book to read that examines how quickly society can become very cruel. Women were treated very badly but the human spirit remains resilient.

  • Most critical review

    Not a book I enjoyed.

    I had heard all the hype and decided to read. I did not really enjoy the book and don't know where all the hype came from. The story did nothing for me. I would not recommend this book.

  • Dystopian view of our future

    I started watching the tv series and that led me to the book. So far it is compelling reading and the scary thing is I could see this happening in reality. Amazing book. Highly recommended!!

  • Better than the TV series

    Bought this book after the first episode. Whilst the series is good, the book is better. The underlying fear is much more real and it is easier to engage with the characters. It is the kind of book to return to again and again. A fantastic read.

  • Saw the TV series but wanted to read the book

    If you're buying the book because of the TV series you won't learn anything more but the book is 100% better because you really immerse yourself.
