Fiercely political and bleak, yet witting and wise...this novel seems ever more vital in the present day
Observer
The mother of all feminist dystopian novels.
Sarra Manning, Red
The novel satirises the strain of evangelical puritanism in American culture and the objectification and control of women’s bodies. It is more broadly a contemporary myth of despotic power, and how such power deforms those who are subjected to it.
Tim Adams, Observer
One of Atwood’s finest pieces of work serves as a great reminder of what humanity is capable of.
Hannah Dunn, Red
Margaret Atwood is a wry and perceptive observer of society as well as an original storyteller
Cecilia Heyes, Psychologist
Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful evocation of twenty-first century America gives full rein to Margaret Atwood’s devastating irony, wit and astute perception
Essence
This is a novel pervaded by violence, sex, terror, but also by contemplation, analysis and – occasionally – by hope… Atwood shockingly reveals what we could be capable of.
