The Handmaiden's Tale by Margaret Atwood ISBN: 0770428207 Price: 6.99 View Basket Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours. Publisher/ Date: Bantam Books of Canada Ltd. / 08-1998 Format: Paperback Synopsis: It is the world of the near future, and Offred is a Handmaid in the home of the Commander and his wife. She is allowed out once a day to the food market, she is not permitted to read, and she is hoping the Commander makes her pregnant, because she is only valued if her ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she was an independent woman, had a job of her own, a husband and child. But all of that is gone now...everything has changed. Reviews:
