A Response to The Testaments, by Margaret Atwood

The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you've read The Handmaid's Tale, what happens to Gilead is revealed in the proceedings of the proceedings of the Twelfth Symposium on Gileadean Studies, the novel's postscript. But not the how or the why. To save the world from the horrors of Gilead is an obvious why. The who, and their personal why, was something of a surprise.
15 years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, a reckoning has come, and for some, a time to not only be a witness, but an active participant, and for some, they will be called to testify.
Dark, beautiful, intense, "a triumphant blend of riveting wit, and virtuosic world-building, disturbing explorations of faith, of identity, of self.
Recommended.
