Life in what was once the US has become a sexually repressed existence in the Republic of Gilead, an intolerant theocracy founded by religious extremists. In a land where today's rhetoric has become tomorrow's reality, a still-young woman hauntingly recalls her old life in the 1980s, and with cool-eyed, often desperate detachment, she describes her new identity as a Handmaid, enlisted to bear children for the elite.

I can see why this is considered one of Atwood's best works. Really intersting setting, and thought-provoking situations. I really enjoyed reading it.

Having just read Oryx and Crake, I see a lot of parallels between the two.

I have found Atwood's novel on the OC Transpo Annual sale not noticing the label in it. I have never heard of BookCrossing before, but I really think it's such a great idea to let your favorite books circulate around the world! I just started readig it, so my rating would not be applicable.
I am traveling to Europe in the summer, my plan is to drop it off perhaps in England or somewhere else ( I have not decided it yet) so people in the other part of the globe will also have a chance to enjoy this book.
