Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She has only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.
I thought I had read this back in high school, but I must have been thinking of a similar story, because I was surprised to discover this story wasn't entirely what I thought it was. Great reading in the current U.S. climate.
