Testaments

More than fifteen years have passed since the events of "The Handmaid's Tale," the Republic of Gilead with its theocratic regime still holds power, but the first signs of internal decay are appearing. At this crucial time, the fates of three very different women intertwine – and the results of their alliance promise an explosion. Two of them belong to the first generation raised under the new order. Their voices are joined by a third – the voice of Aunt Lydia. Her complicated past and uncertain future conceal many mysteries. In "The Testaments," Margaret Atwood lifts the veil on the inner workings of Gilead, and in light of the revealed truths, each heroine must understand who she is and decide how far she is willing to go in the struggle for what she believes in.
