About this product

Product Information

In this electrifying sequel to The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood answers the questions that have tantalised readers for decades. ** WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE 2019 ** ** SUNDAY TIMES NO. 1 BESTSELLER ** BOOK OF THE YEAR- Daily Telegraph, Evening Standard, Stylist, Sunday Times, Financial Times, Guardian, The Times, Observer, Red Margaret Atwood's dystopian masterpiece, The Handmaid's Tale, is a modern classic. Now she brings the iconic story to a dramatic conclusion in this riveting sequel. 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 voice- a woman who wields power through the ruthless accumulation and deployment of secrets. As Atwood unfolds The Testaments, she 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. 'Dear Readers- Everything you've ever asked me about Gilead and its inner workings is the inspiration for this book. Well, almost everything! The other inspiration is the world we've been living in.' Margaret Atwood

  • Amazing read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Excellent follow up to the brilliant Handmaids Tale. Margaret Atwood has got this just right, I couldn’t put the book down. Was enhanced by the radio 4 series of readings from the book (check it out on BBC sounds). You won’t be disappointed.

  • Like brand new so a nice surprise. It's ...

    Like brand new so a nice surprise. It's a pity though they can't be more specific about the size and type of book. If its a part of a series they don't seem able to provide the others in the series in exactly the same format which is annoying!!

  • An excellent book

    Margaret Atwood is a brilliant writer. The Testaments is quite a hard read because if the subject it covers. Even though it is stand alone I think The Handmaidens Tale needs to be read first.

  • Be prepared to be disturbed

    A fitting sequel but it’s a hard read - as it’s not comforting, but disturbing. But very well-written and I’m glad to have read it. Would recommend.

  • Nice hardback binding.

    I’m not an Atwood fan so was dismayed when this book was chosen for a discussion group I go to. The hardback format is pleasant to handle and helps in getting through a work that is not as bad as I feared.
