Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant because, in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable.

Available for loan.

I just received this yesterday and completed it this afternoon. This book is GOOD and scary as hell. Especially if you're a woman. Cliff wants to read this next.

JesseBC, please let me know if you want me to send this back to you or pass it on.

Wow. What a great book. This firmly plants Margaret Atwood at the top of my "recent favorite authors" list.

I think I'm going to send this to BookHarlot next because I like the look of her shelf and site. Provided she still wants it, that is (I found her wish for it).
