More about the book

Set in a dystopian near future, Offred navigates her role as a handmaid, where her worth is determined solely by her ability to bear children. As she yearns for the Commander to make her pregnant, she reflects on her lost past—a time filled with independence, a family, and personal freedom. The stark contrast between her previous life and her current subjugation highlights the themes of oppression and the struggle for identity in a repressive society.
