The stunning graphic novel adaptation - A must-read and collector's
item for fans of "the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction" (New
York Times).
Look for The Testaments, the sequel to The Handmaid's Tale
In Margaret Atwood's 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 Gilead's 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 Handmaid's Tale has long been a
global phenomenon. With this beautiful graphic novel adaptation of
Margaret Atwood's modern classic, beautifully realized by artist Renée
Nault, the terrifying reality of Gilead has been brought to vivid life
like never before.
