THE HANDMAID'S TALE
The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one choice: reproduction. If she deviates from her purpose, she will end up, like all dissenters, hanging on the Wall, or she will be sent to the Colonies, where she will find a slow and agonizing death from radiation. But even a totalitarian regime cannot extinguish desire – neither Offred's nor that of the two men upon whom her fate depends.

A brilliant, shocking dystopia about the evil lurking in human nature, THE HANDMAID'S TALE can be read both as a dark chronicle of an alternative reality and as a harrowing testimony to the position of women in the modern world.
