Romanen bag tv-serien The Handmaid's Tale på HBO. "Tjenerindens fortælling" er en grusom beretning fra diktaturet Gilead, i den nære fremtids USA. I Gilead er de få tilbageværende kvinder, som en stor miljøkatastrofe ikke har gjort sterile, blevet anbragt hos samfundets magtelite. De skal sørge for, at slægten videreføres. Modvillige tjenerinder straffes med døden. Tjenerinden Offred anbringes i huset hos en af det totalitære samfunds spidser og hans hustru. Men den undertrykkende stat kan ikke fjerne Offreds længsler og ønsker.

Femten år efter "Tjenerindens fortælling" sluttede, eksisterer rædselsregimet Gilead stadig. Dog er der tegn på, at det langsomt er ved at smuldre indefra. Tre kvinder bliver afgørende for Gileads sidste dage. Dette er deres historie. "Har man læst ’Tjenerindens fortælling’ eller set HBO’s serieversion i ’The Handmaid’s Tale’, bliver man ikke skuffet over opfølgeren." - Berlingske "Fremragende." - Ekstra Bladet "Dystopisk sensation ... Pageturner-spændende." - Weekendavisen "’Gileads døtre’ er Atwood, når hun er allerbedst.

Margaret Atwood ist überzeugt: "Die Geschichte, wie sie in der "Odyssee" erzählt wird, ist nicht wasserdicht." Hier erzählt deshalb Penelope selbst rückblickend ihre Geschichte, skeptisch und scharfsichtig betrachtet sie ihr Leben, ihren seefahrenden Gatten Odysseus, die gewiefte Cousine Helena, den dümmlichen Paris, die brutale, patriarchalische Gesellschaft der Antike. Die Mägde bilden einen Chor, der den Bericht Penelopes aus der anonymen Perspektive der Machtlosen ergänzt. Intim, leicht und dabei illusionslos beschreiben die Frauen, was sie sehen, denken und erleben.
