Thirty-four years after the publication of the legendary 'The Handmaid's Tale,' Margaret Atwood gave readers a continuation of the Gilead story. 'The Testaments' is not just a sequel, but a full-fledged standalone work, for which Atwood won the 2019 Booker Prize. It unfolds the tangled destinies of three very different women, each in their own way, undermining the republic's totalitarian regime, leading Gilead to its inevitable demise. Even after the darkest night, there is an inevitable dawn.
