Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are only valued if their ovaries are viable.
Offred can remember the days before, when she lived and made love with her husband Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now...

Goes into the "Next English Bookbox" by blacksheeps99.
Got this out of the box. My Canadian penpal recommended it to me and now I can read it. Great!
I finished reading this book a couple of days ago and I'm still not sure what to write about it. The story was quite disturbing at times but I liked the book.
Thanks for giving me the chance to read it.
1.4.05 - I'm putting the book into another bookbox so it can find new readers.
