I Read: The Testaments

The Testaments
The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
(sequel to The Handmaid's Tale)

I'm not going to say much about this because I don't want to give anything away. But I really loved the way it was set up. Fluid timelines that converge at a central, pivotal point. And characters who aren't exactly who they are and give us insight into so many other characters through their words. 

Atwood truly is a marvelous writer. She waited so many years to complete this sequel and it seems to flow so easily from the writing several decades before. Anyone who has read The Handmaid's Tale should really read The Testaments. It's a fabulous follow up and answers a number of questions that an inquisitive reader might still have.
