The Handmaid's Tale
The iconic Sunday Times bestseller that inspired the hit TV series
2018 || Paperback || Margaret Atwood || Random House
The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness.
