A #1 New York Times bestseller and modern classic, The Handmaid’s Tale is the first book in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale series and one of the most influential works of dystopian fiction.
In the near future, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have contributed to the collapse of the United States and the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime built around rigid social roles and extreme control over women’s lives.
Offred is one of the few remaining fertile women and has been forced into the role of a Handmaid. Separated from her husband and child, stripped of her freedom and even her own name, she is assigned to a Commander and expected to produce a child for his household.
Through Offred’s perspective, the novel reveals the realities hidden beneath Gilead’s ordered exterior as she remembers the life she once had and struggles to preserve her identity and will to survive.
At once a work of dystopian fiction, social satire and narrative suspense, The Handmaid’s Tale explores power, freedom, gender and the consequences of allowing individual rights to disappear.
The Handmaid’s Tale is Book 1 in The Handmaid’s Tale series and is followed by The Testaments.
