Margaret Atwood

The bestselling dystopian classic that became a cultural phenomenon and inspired an award-winning TV series
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.
