Offred sees how non-conformists are treated and begins her duty as surrogate child-bearer.
Margaret Attwood鈥檚 multi-award-winning futuristic dystopian novel.
The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness.
But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.
Abridged by Katie Campbell.
Read by Buffy Davis.
Producer: Sally Avens.
First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in October 1995.
