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.

Critic Reviews

“Compulsively readable”

A fantastic, chilling story. And so powerfully feminist -- Bernadine Evaristo, author of GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER
Daily Telegraph
Out of a narrative shadowed by terror, gleam sharp perceptions, brilliant intense images and sardonic wit Independent
The Handmaid's Tale is both a superlative exercise in science fiction and a profoundly felt moral story -- Angela Carter
Moving, vivid and terrifying. I only hope it's not prophetic The Listener
The images of brilliant emptiness are one of the most striking aspects of this novel about totalitarian blindness...the effect is chilling Sunday Times
Powerful...admirable -- Robert Irwin Time Out
It's hard to believe it is 25 years since it was first published, but its freshness, its anger and its disciplined, taut prose have grown more admirable in the intervening years... Atwood's novel was an ingenious enterprise that showed, with out hysteria, the real dangers to women of closing their eyes to patriarchal oppression Independent on Sunday
Turned 25 this year and...worth re-reading. As you grow, such books grow with you The Times, Christmas round up
Fiercely political and bleak, yet witting and wise...this novel seems ever more vital in the present day Observer
