The Testaments by Margaret Atwood is read by Ann Dowd, Bryce Dallas Howard and Mae Whitman with Derek Jacobi, Tantoo Cardinal and Margaret Atwood.

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

'The literary event of the year.' Guardian

'A savage and beautiful novel, and it speaks to us today, all around the world, with particular conviction and power... The bar is set particularly high for Atwood and she soars over it' Peter Florence, Booker Prize Chair of Judges, Guardian

    Commentaires

    Thrilling and blistering
    An incredible follow-up
    Gripping, pacy and beautifully written (Justine Jordan)
    Finding hope in a hopeless place, this is everything The Handmaid’s Tale fans wanted and more. Prepare to hold your breath throughout, and to cry real tears at the end. My book of the year (Kayleigh Dray)
    The Testaments is Atwood at her best, in its mixture of generosity, insight and control. The prose is adroit, direct, beautifully turned. All over the reading world, the history books are being opened to the next blank page and Atwood’s name is written at the top of it. To read this book is to feel the world turning (Anne Enright)
    I gobbled it down... Atwood has an incredible intellectual nimbleness that challenges us constantly and poses the question that lies like a pearl inside the shell of this frighteningly readable novel, "Before you sit in judgement, how would you behave in Gilead?" (Allison Pearson)
    No one needs another recommendation for The Testaments and still I have to say how thrilling it is when a book manages to exceed all expectations. How did she manage to make darkness feel so effortless? How did she think to inject humour where no humour should exist? Because she’s Margaret Atwood, and she can do anything (Ann Patchett)
    A cracker: urgent, moving and as tense as any thriller... there's a darkly rebellious humour, ingenious wordplay and, of course, chillingly timely warnings. Atwood is long overdue a Nobel (Hepzibah Anderson)
    At its heart, this gripping novel is a rallying call for action... In Atwood's world, resistance is never futile (Mernie Gilmore)
    The must-read novel of the year -- a perfect gift for bookworms and fans of the TV series

    The novel provides a more complex view of some characters, especially aunt Lydia. The complexity of evil is explored in all its subtleties .

    enthralling

    I admire the author's creation and very thoughtful dystopia of Gilead, but find the style especially of the younger caracters a bit trying. in ''A handmaid's tale'' that bothered me too much, but in this book the storytelling and the story are much more balanced. I very much enjoyed the book, which is rich in perspectives and ideas that stayed with me long after each reading.

    Better yet!

    I listened to it just after the "handmaid's tale". "the testaments" has a different dynamic to the "handmaid's tale". The testaments are cleverly brought to keep the reader listening.

    Very clever follow up of volume 1

    Sequel to the handmaid's tale, if you have loved the original, this sequel is quite disappointing.

    Disappointing
