The Handmaid's Tale - Il racconto dell'ancella

La società di Gilead, un tempo nota come Stati Uniti d'America, è governata da un regime misogino ed estremista che auspica un ritorno ai valori tradizionali della società. A capo di Gilead c'è un'élite di potere che schiavizza le poche donne fertili rimaste per tentare di ripopolare il mondo. Difred, una delle ancelle del Comandante Waterford, cerca di sopravvivere alla crudeltà della società in cui vive e al tempo stesso ritrovare la figlia perduta.
