So I step into the darkness inside; or — into the light…

What awaited Freda after the final scene of The Handmaid's Tale - freedom, prison or death? We had no way of knowing. Until now. With The Testaments, our wait is over.

Fifteen years after those events, the author tells the story through the explosive testaments of three women in Gilead.

In the brilliant sequel to The Handmaid's Tale, the legendary Margaret Atwood answers questions that have excited readers for decades.

North America, 15 years later. The Republic of Gilead holds on to its power. But the cruel and lowly regime is rotting from the inside. All the slogans about purity and service turned out to be dirty lies. Lydia is an elderly woman who has travelled a thorny path: from a respected family court judge in old Gilead, through prison and participation in the massacres of innocents to the highest position in the ruling elite. Lydia wants to destroy the regime that destroyed her life. And she has plenty of evidence of its criminality. She plans to smuggle this evidence to Canada. Two girls are going to help her: Agnes from Gilead, who discovers the shocking truth about her real Servant Mother, and Jade, a sixteen-year-old from Toronto who turns out to be the very same Tiny Nicole they told their children at school. Three women who dared to stand up to a cruel, deceptive regime. Will they succeed in defeating the monster?
