A fantastic, chilling story. And so powerfully feminist
*Bernadine Evaristo, author of GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER*
Compulsively readable
*Daily Telegraph*
Out of a narrative shadowed by terror, gleam sharp perceptions,
brilliant intense images and sardonic wit
*Independent*
The Handmaid's Tale is both a superlative exercise in science
fiction and a profoundly felt moral story
*Angela Carter*
Moving, vivid and terrifying. I only hope it's not prophetic
*The Listener*
