Seller Description
A novel of such power that the reader will be unable to forget its images and its forecast. Set in the near future, it describes life in what was the United States, now called the Republic of Gilead, a monktheocracy that has reacted to social unrest and a sharply declining birth rate by reverting to, and going beyond, the repressive intolerance of the original Puritans. The regime takes the Book of Genesis absolutely at its word, with bizarre consequences for the women and men of its population. It’s Margaret Atwood at her best.
