The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
3.0
This is definitely more of a page-turner (odd phrase to use, since I listened to the audiobook) than The Handmaid’s Tale, but also feels wholly unnecessary. It seems to do less to add upon the story and the worldbuilding of the universe than the TV adaptation. One nice aspect of the audiobook: Ann Dowd reprising her role as Aunt Lydia.
“I feared I might lose my faith. If you’ve never had a faith, you will not understand what that means. You feel as if your best friend is dying, that everything that defined you is being burned away; that you’ll be left all alone.”
