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.

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.

 Every month I make a list of the books I aim to read in that month. I don't knew yet if I'll make it, but hey, at least I intend to. This month my TBR list includes two Classics and five Young Adult books that I'm very curious about. You can follow me on my Goodreads to see how I'm doing, if you like. See you next month for another TBR list!
