The Testaments: The Sequel to The Handmaid's Tale (Booker Prize Winner) [B0960-PB]

2019 PB with minor wear. WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE. The Testaments is a modern masterpiece, a powerful novel that can be read on its own or as a companion to Margaret Atwood's classic, The Handmaid's Tale. More than fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results. Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third: Aunt Lydia. Her complex past and uncertain future unfold in surprising and pivotal ways. With The Testaments, Margaret Atwood opens up the innermost workings of Gilead, as each woman is forced to come to terms with who she is, and how far she will go for what she believes.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "A little too real for 2026. It was so good though!!"; "It has been 35 years since the Handmaid's Tale was written, but Atwood brings it all to life again with exceptional detail and broadens the scope of characters like Aunt Lydia. Like the HT, Testaments is still very valid in it's cry for the protection of women's rights. Atwood's provocative storyline still hits home in today's society."; "I thought I would hate this book but actually it hit me harder than anticipated. Living under the current fascist regime with ICE currently ripping families apart across America makes it all the more probable a society like Gilead could exist. I also liked the redemption of Aunt Lydia. overall an enjoyable read."; "Again, Margaret you've knocked it out of the park."
