The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

The Handmaid's Tale : Paperback : Vintage Publishing : 9780099740919 : 0099740915 : 19 Sep 1996 : 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.
