HANDMAIDS TALE (QUARTERBOUND CLASSICS) (HB)

A beautiful hardback edition of Atwood's landmark dystopian novel. Offred is a Handmaid in The Republic of Gilead, a religious totalitarian state in what was formerly known as the United States. She is placed in the household of Commander Fred Waterford. She has only one function: to breed. If Offred refuses to enter into sexual servitude to repopulate a devastated world, she will be hanged. Yet even a repressive state cannot eradicate hope and desire.
