THE TESTAMENTS (WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE 2019)

“You’d be surprised how quickly the mind goes soggy in the absence of other people. One person alone is not a full person: we exist in relation to others. I was one person: I risked becoming no person.” A gripping return to Gilead. The Testaments picks up fifteen years after The Handmaid’s Tale, weaving three voices into one devastating account of resistance, indoctrination, and the cost of survival. Perfect for fans of dystopia, female-driven narratives, and tense, morally complex storytelling. 📖 Read this if you like: dystopia, feminist fiction, The Handmaid's Tale, Station Eleven, or tense, morally complex storytelling.
