Pudiera decir demasiado de la increíble historia de Atwood, sin embargo con poco tiempo para ir al trabajo el día de hoy que (tristemente) terminé el libro solamente mencionaré la idea que cautivó y a su vez engloba toda las demás, generadas por este libro. La “distopia” que es y ha sido la realidad de millones de mujeres a lo largo de la historia, ya que su axioma es que no se permite que aparezca ningún suceso del que no haya un precedente en la historia de la humanidad.

While I read The Handmaid’s Tale as a series of vignettes from the handmaid’s present and past life, The Testaments was more plot-driven with a classic story structure, making it feel like an action novel (as a person who does not read many action novels). I was glad to have reread The Handmaid’s Tale so recently before reading this sequel. The references and connections to the first novel were satisfying, even if they were a bit unambiguous, and added weight to the first story. This book might have been darker than the first. I enjoyed knowing more characters in this universe.
