A box set featuring Margaret Atwood's bestselling companion novels, The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments. In The Handmaid's Tale, environmental disasters and declining birth rates have led to a Second American Civil War and the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime that enforces strict social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these women, a Handmaid destined to bear children for one of Gilead's Commanders. Stripped of her husband, her child, her freedom, and even her own name, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive. In The Testaments, set more than fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, the Republic of Gilead maintains its repressive grip on power but begins to rot from within. At this critical moment, the lives of three radically different women intersect, with potentially explosive consequences. This beautifully designed box set makes the perfect gift.
