"Nault spectacularly transforms lines and color into fear, resignation, desperation, and the tiniest glimmers of hope."
Publishers Weekly
Summary
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).
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.
