About this product

Product Information

The Sunday Times No.1 bestseller that triggered a cultural phenomenon ** THE SUNDAY TIMES NO. 1 BESTSELLER ** Go back to where it all began with the dystopian novel behind the award-winning TV series. 'As relevant today as it was when Atwood wrote it' Guardian I believe in the resistance as I believe there can be no light without shadow; or rather, no shadow unless there is also light. Offred is a Handmaid in The Republic of Gilead, a religious totalitarian state in what was formerly known as the United States. She is placed in the household of The Commander, Fred Waterford - her assigned name, Offred, means 'of Fred'. She has only one function- to breed. If Offred refuses to enter into sexual servitude to repopulate a devastated world, she will be hanged. Yet even a repressive state cannot eradicate hope and desire. As she recalls her pre-revolution life in flashbacks, Offred must navigate through the terrifying landscape of torture and persecution in the present day, and between two men upon which her future hangs. Masterfully conceived and executed, this haunting vision of the future places Margaret Atwood at the forefront of dystopian fiction. 'A fantastic, chilling story. And so powerfully feminist', Bernardine Evaristo, author of Girl, Woman, Other.

    I have marked this at two stars because the book has been written in with words and passages underlined etc which is annoying - i dont understand why people deface books in this way.

    although the book is overall in fair condition, there are pages that have been ripped out. I didn't think I would be receiving a damaged book but I still think the price was fair

    It was a smaller book than I thought it was going to be. Unfortunately with WOB you don't know what size the paperback might be; whether large format or small
