HANDMAIDS TALE (VINTAGE TV ED)

Masterfully conceived and executed, this haunting vision of the future places Margaret Atwood at the forefront of dystopian fiction, and remains as relevant today as when it was written with the award-winning TV series bringing it to a whole new generation of readers. 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' and she has only one function - to breed.
