    Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, serving in the household of the enigmatic Commander and his bitter wife. She may go out once a day to markets whose signs are now pictures because women are not allowed to read. She must pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, for in a time of declining birthrates her value lies in her fertility, and failure means exile to the dangerously polluted Colonies. Offred can remember a time when she lived with her husband and daughter and had a job, before she lost even her own name....

    Story

    It's been a number of years since I last read this -- very enjoyable narration by Claire Danes. I hope she does more.
    Meanwhile, I anxiously await Atwood's third installment to the After-The-Flood Trilogy.

    This is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: They are allowed outside.

    "Excellent dystopian sci-fi story!"

    Great story. Excellent characters. And, after a short acclimation period, I decided that I liked Minnie Goode's narration job.
