** THE SUNDAY TIMES NO. 1 BESTSELLER ** Discover the dystopian novel that started a phenomenon. Offred is a Handmaid in The Republic of Gilead. 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. 'A fantastic, chilling story. And so powerfully feminist' Bernadine Evaristo 'As relevant today as it was when Atwood wrote it' Guardian

    Niclas, 28 juli 2013

    Handmaid's Tale är en väldigt välskriven, avancerad och symboltyngd berättelse om en framtida dystopi där en totalitär stat har fört kvinnornas frigörelse tillbaka till medeltiden. Boken är gripande och engagerande och självklart fungerar den som en kommentar till dagens samhälle.
