About the book
In the Republic of Gilead, a theocratic and patriarchal regime has overthrown the United States government. In this new world, women have been stripped of their rights and assigned roles based on their fertility. Offred is a Handmaid — one of the few women still able to bear children — and she’s forced to serve a high-ranking Commander and his wife in a ritualised system of subjugation.
As Offred navigates the cruel, surreal reality of Gilead, she clings to memories of life before - of her daughter, her partner, and her name. The Handmaid’s Tale is not just a terrifying vision of the future, but a bold reflection on the past and present. Unflinching, layered and uncomfortably plausible, it remains a powerful lens through which to view society and power today.
