Description

Offred's world is one of stark contrasts, where the familiar is lost and the oppressive is all that remains. In the Republic of Gilead, women have lost all their rights, and their bodies are controlled by the state. Offred, a Handmaid, is forced into a life of servitude, where she is valued only for her reproductive capabilities. Her memories of a life before Gilead are all that keep her going. She remembers her husband, her daughter, and the life she once knew. But those memories are a distant past, and Offred is left to navigate a world that is both familiar and yet, utterly alien. This powerful and haunting novel explores a dystopian society where women's bodies are controlled by the state, and their rights are stripped away.
