The Handmaid's Tale (Movie Tie-In)

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ò An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from ôthe patron saint of feminist dystopian fictionö (New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss. Includes an introduction by Margaret Atwood. In Margaret AtwoodÆs dystopian future, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War. The result is the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of GileadÆs commanders. Deprived of her husband, her child, her freedom, and even her own name, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive. At once a scathing satire, an ominous warning, and a tour de force of narrative suspense, The HandmaidÆs Tale is a modern classic. Look for The Testaments, the sequel to The HandmaidÆs Tale
