Fifteen years after the events of "The Handmaid's Tale", the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this moment, the lives of three different women converge, with potentially explosive results.Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these women are joined by a third voice: a woman who wields power through the ruthless accumulation and deployment of secrets.Atwood opens up the innermost workings of Gilead as each woman is forced to come to terms with who she is, and how far she will go for what she believes.
