The Testaments by Margaret Atwood

5.0

---

I loved this book, I think it was even better than Handmaid's Tale. I obviously didn't read the description well enough as initially thought it would just be a continuation of Offred's story but this was way better. I liked the glimpse back to the founding of Gilead as well as Aunt Lydia's backstory. The comparison of the lives of the two girls, one from Gilead and one frm Canada was also great. The way they speak its almost like they are from different time periods but they are not. Goes to show how insulated Gilead is from the world. Definitely worth the read !!
