Reviews

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*
