Summary
A look at the near future presents the story of Offred, a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, once the United States. Gilead is now an oppressive world where women are no longer allowed to read and are valued only as long as they are viable for reproduction. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs
