In a near-future society where women have no rights, one Handmaid dares to remember a world before.
Offred lives in the Republic of Gilead, a theocratic dictatorship that rose from the ashes of the United States. In a society plagued by infertility, she is valued only for her womb—assigned to bear children for powerful men and their barren wives.
Stripped of her name, freedom, and family, Offred clings to the fragments of her past… and to the fragile hope of escape. As she navigates a world of silent resistance and brutal control, every whispered word and sideways glance could cost her life—or ignite revolution.
*A scathing satire and haunting dystopia, The Handmaid’s Tale is a masterwork of literary fiction and a chilling warning that still echoes decades after its publication.
