ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Everything
Handmaids wear is red: the colour of blood, which defines us.
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, where women are prohibited
from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships. She serves in the
household of the Commander and his wife, and under the new social order she
has only one purpose: once a month, she must lie on her back and pray that
the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births,
Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if they are fertile. But
Offred remembers the years before Gilead, when she was an independent woman
who had a job, a family, and a name of her own. Now, her memories and her
will to survive are acts of rebellion.
Provocative, startling, prophetic, The Handmaid’s Tale has long been a
global phenomenon. With this stunning graphic novel adaptation of Margaret
Atwood’s modern classic, beautifully realized by artist Renee Nault, the
terrifying reality of Gilead has been brought to vivid life like never
before.Age Range: Adult
