<b>Brought to you by Penguin. </b><br /><br /><b>Shortlisted for Audiobook of the Year at the British Book Awards 2020.</b><br /><br /><b>Winner of Best Audiobook (Fiction) at </b><b>the New York Festival Radio Awards 2020.</b><br /> <b></b><br /><b> READ BY ELISABETH MOSS, STAR OF THE HIT CHANNEL 4 TV SERIES</b><br /><br /> The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.<br /><br /> 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.<br /><br /><b>'Moss embodies the lead character, Offred, perfectly and reads with grace and at an ideal pace.' <i>Daily Mail</i></b><br /><b></b><br /><b>Perhaps we could include The Times review of The Handmaid's too: 'This beautifully produced audiobook version of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale will whet appetites for its long-awaited sequel, The Testaments, released in September [...] The several narrators match the powerful heft of Atwood’s elegant, economical prose.' <i>The Times</i></b><br /><br />(c) 1985, Margaret Atwood (P) 2019 Penguin Audio
