Two novels set within Gilead

This box set brings together The Handmaid’s Tale and its companion novel, The Testaments, across two periods in the history of the Republic of Gilead. The first centers on Offred, a fertile woman forced into the regime’s reproductive system after environmental disasters, falling birthrates, and civil war reshape society. Set more than fifteen years later, The Testaments turns to three women whose lives intersect as Gilead’s power begins to weaken from within. Together, the novels trace the regime’s rigid social order and the ways women’s lives unfold under its rule.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in dystopian fiction and authoritarian societies
  • Readers who want both novels in the Handmaid’s Tale series in one set
  • Readers interested in fiction about women’s lives under restrictive social systems

Book overview

A stunning box set of the bestselling companion novels The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments, from "the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction" (The New York Times)

In The Handmaid's Tale, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War and the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of Gilead's Commanders. Deprived of her husband, her child, her freedom, and even her own name, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive.

In The Testaments, set more than fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, the Republic of Gilead maintains its repressive grip on power, but it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women come together, with potentially explosive results.

This beautifully designed box set will make the perfect gift.
