She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she lived and made love with her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge.

But all of that is gone now. Funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing, The Handmaid's Tale is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and tour de force. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood's devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, "The Handmaid's Tale" is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.

When we see June again, looking out at a vivid street scene from her office window, she is called away to a poorly Hannah, who has been taken to hospital.

Her dressing down by the doctor for being a working mum is a hint of what is to come. She is angry, but she brushes it off. It is only when she arrives home to see Luke gawping at the TV that they both begin to understand that everything is going to change. Where will we get our visual relief now? It is back to the sludge-green sterility and chilly sunbeams of religious oppression. God, it is horrible. As Offred joins the throng of crying, shaking women, a leather bridle covering half her face, we are forced again to look into the dehumanised eyes of women who think they are going to be slaughtered.

It is more gruelling to watch than any number of ear-slicings or hand-burnings. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Comments 2 thanx. You are welcome. Thank you for the feedback.
