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.

Marian McAlpin is an "abnormally normal" young woman, according to her friends. A recent university graduate, she crafts consumer surveys for a market research firm, maintains an uneasy truce between her flighty roommate and their prudish landlady, and goes to parties...

Mainekate auhindadega pärjatud prosaist ja luuletaja Margaret Atwood (sünd. 1939) on tuntud nii viljaka kirjaniku, kirjanduskriitiku kui ka pühendunud keskkonnaaktivistina. 1977. aastal ilmunud jutukogus „Tantsutüdrukud“ peegeldub tema armastus karmi looduse vastu, samuti soov murda välja Kanada tolleaegsele kirjandusele omasest enesehäbist. Margaret Atwoodi lood räägivad justkui „tavalistest inimestest“, kelle tundevarjundeid, meeleolusid ja kohati ka kivinenud mõttemalle ta ülima...
