A nightmarish (and sadly prophetic in our times) vision of a dystopian "republic" in the former United States, described through the narrative of a single Handmaid, a woman living in extremely oppressive conditions and occupied in the service of breeding children for the upper echelon of this society. The book is a classic and certainly worth reading, but beware: you will be unsettled and may experience a few angry, sleepless nights before the story ends.
