Reviews
"A taut thriller, a psychological study, a play on words.…A rich and complex book." New York Times "Atwood has peered behind the curtain into some of the darkest, most secret, yet oddly erotic corners of the mind, and the result is a fascinating, wonderfully written, and disturbing cautionary tale." Toronto Sun "A novel that will both chill and caution readers and which may challenge everyday assumptions.…It is an imaginative accomplishment of a high order. . . . " London Free Press "Moving, vivid and terrifying. I only hope it is not prophetic." Conor Cruise O'Brien "A novel that brilliantly illuminates some of the darker interconnections of politics and sex.…Satisfying, disturbing and compelling." Washington Post "The most poetically satisfying and intense of all Atwood's novels." Maclean's "It deserves an honored place on the small shelf of cautionary tales that have entered modern folklore a place next to, and by no means inferior to, Brave New World and 1984." Publishers Weekly "Deserves the highest praise." San Francisco Chronicle "In The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood has written the most chilling cautionary novel of the century." Phoenix Gazette "Imaginative, even audacious, and conveys a chilling sense of fear and menace." Globe and Mail "Margaret Atwood's novels tickle our deepest sexual and psychological fears. The Handmaid's Tale is a sly and beautifully crafted story about the fate of an ordinary woman caught off guard by extraordinary events. . . . A compelling fable of our time." Glamour "This visionary novel, in which God and Government are joined, and America is run as a Puritanical Theocracy, can be read as a companion volume to Orwell's 1984 its verso, in fact. It gives you the same degree of chill, even as it suggests the varieties of tyrannical experience; it evokes the same kind of horror even as its mordant wit makes you smile." E. L.

Synopsis
In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate "Handmaids" under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred's persistent memories of life in the "time before" and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood's devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaid's Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning. From the Hardcover edition.
