Fifteen years after The Handmaid’s Tale, the Republic of Gilead still stands—but cracks are forming.
In this Booker Prize–winning sequel, Margaret Atwood returns to her dystopian world to tell the stories of three women whose lives will shape Gilead’s future.
Two are young women who’ve grown up knowing nothing but Gilead’s brutal rule. The third is Aunt Lydia, a fearsome figure whose past holds secrets powerful enough to unravel the entire regime.
As their testimonies converge, rebellion sparks—and survival demands sacrifice.
A #1 New York Times bestseller, The Testaments is a fiercely compelling exploration of power, resistance, and the enduring fight for truth.
Whether read as a standalone or alongside The Handmaid’s Tale, this is Atwood at her sharpest: fearless, urgent, unforgettable.
