The stunning graphic novel adaptation âą A must-read and collectorâs item for fans of âthe patron saint of feminist dystopian fictionâ (New York Times).
Look for The Testaments, the sequel to The Handmaidâs Tale
In Margaret Atwoodâs dystopian future, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War. The result is the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of Gileadâs commanders. Deprived of her husband, her child, her freedom, and even her own name, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive.
Provocative, startling, prophetic, The Handmaidâs Tale has long been a global phenomenon. With this beautiful graphic novel adaptation of Margaret Atwoodâs modern classic, beautifully realized by artist RenĂ©e Nault, the terrifying reality of Gilead has been brought to vivid life like never before.
