Synopsis
#1 New York Times bestseller Look for The Testaments , the sequel to The Handmaid's Tale , available now. An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from "the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction" ( New York Times ). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss. In Margaret Atwood's dystopian future, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War. The result is the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of Gilead's commanders. Deprived of her husband, her child, her freedom, and even her own name, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive. At once a scathing satire, an ominous warning, and a tour de force of narrative suspense, The Handmaid's Tale is a modern classic. Includes an introduction by Margaret Atwood, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from "the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction" ( The New York Times ) - The sixth and final season of the award-winning Hulu series starring Elisabeth Moss is now streaming Look for The Testaments , the bestselling, award-winning sequel to The Handmaid's Tale In Margaret Atwood's dystopian future, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War.

    Top recommendations. Written over 30 years ago, but based in present time. Scary close to what could happen the near future. Makes you think. MUST READ!

    Handmaids big disappointment

    I am a rabid reader and when they bother to make a TV show or movie about the book I read the book. I have found that on a whole it's a big mistake and this is one of those examples. Story moves like a painting ,interesting but no motion. It was a quick read,thank goodness. One word. Boring!

    A wonderfully told story by Margaret Atwood that keeps your mind stimulated and curious about a futuristic world!

    The Handmaida Tale is a well told story that keeps the reader captivated. I am an author and love Margaret Atwood's writing style and ability to tell us about a futuristic world.

    Award winning.

    I saw a clip on YouTube, I don't have hulu, with all the awards this show has one and watching the interview on t.v. with the author. Had to buy this book. Glad I bought it.
