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. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs. Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful evocation of twenty-first century America gives full rein to Margaret Atwood's devastating irony, wit and astute perception.
A harrowing read, and what's more chilling is when Atwood reveals that everything that happened to women in this book happened to real women somewhere at some point. A sobering realization of the fragility of women's liberation, and how important it is to safeguard it vigilantly.
This is one of the most amazing books I've ever read!
This is an amazing book. This is a story about surviving in a cruel and devastated world. And there's a woman trying hard to cope with her loss, worries, and a new life. For me, the scene was extremely vivid and inventive.
