With a new introduction by Margaret Atwood

The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function: to bear children. If she deviates from this role, she will meet the same fate as other deviants, either hanged on the wall or left to die a slow death from radiation sickness. Yet even a repressive state cannot extinguish desire – neither Offred's nor that of the two men upon whom her future depends.

Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful vision of the future unleashes Margaret Atwood's irony, wit, and keen perception.

Now a successful TV series.
