Story
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the 10th annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to out charm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low.

Story
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Story
The town of Wirrawee is emerging from war, slowly, like a flower after a cold snap. Businesses are starting to reopen, the school has re-commenced classes, and local farmers are gradually repossessing their land. But it's not the same Australia as before the war. A new nation exists just a few miles away, a new border that separates Australia from its invaders. Or does it?

Story
Fifteen years ago, five ordinary teenagers were singled out by a prophecy to take down an impossibly powerful entity wreaking havoc across North America. He was known as the Dark One, and his weapon of choice - catastrophic events known as Drains - leveled cities and claimed thousands of lives. Chosen Ones, as the teens were known, gave everything they had to defeat him. After the Dark One fell, the world went back to normal...for everyone but them. Of the five, Sloane has had the hardest time adjusting.

Story
Behind the tall, foreboding gates of a commune in Brazil, Daniella Mestyanek Young was raised in the religious cult The Children of God, also known as The Family, as the daughter of high-ranking members. Her great-grandmother donated land for one of The Family’s first communes in Texas. Her mother, at thirteen, was forced to marry the leader and served as his secretary for many years. Beholden to The Family’s strict rules, Daniella suffers physical, emotional, and sexual abuse—masked as godly discipline and divine love—and is forbidden from getting a traditional education.

Story
Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Winner of the Booker Prize 2019.
The British Book Awards Audiobook of the Year 2020
The Testaments by Margaret Atwood is read by Ann Dowd, Bryce Dallas Howard and Mae Whitman with Derek Jacobi, Tantoo Cardinal and Margaret Atwood.
Margaret Atwood's dystopian masterpiece, The Handmaid's Tale, is a modern classic. Now she brings the iconic story to a dramatic conclusion in this riveting sequel.
More than fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results.
Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third voice: a woman who wields power through the ruthless accumulation and deployment of secrets.
As Atwood unfolds The Testaments, she opens up the innermost workings of Gilead as each woman is forced to come to terms with who she is, and how far she will go for what she believes.
'Dear Readers: Everything you've ever asked me about Gilead and its inner workings is the inspiration for this book. Well, almost everything! The other inspiration is the world we've been living in.' Margaret Atwood

Brilliant as you would expect from Margaret Atwood
An absolute must for any fan of The Handmaid’s Tales. I couldn’t stop listening and was pleased with the answers to so many questions.

More lively than A handmaids tale
Great narration and switch of storylines.
Listening to the different stories and countries made this a good listen. This didn’t have the monotone that was evident in the handmaids tale from offreds view.
Liked to hear the ideals and thoughts from the children that grew up in Gilliard.

Simply amazing
Somehow, incredibly, it builds upon and improves the legacy of its predecessor. Not better than Handmaid's Tale, but an extension of it.

Loved it.
What a stunning finale from Margaret Atwood. Exciting to the last page. The performances are fantastic. Can Anne Dowd get an Emmy for this?

Fascinating
Interesting format of 2 female witness statements testimony and Aunt Lydia's journal to carry the listener along explaining the fall of Gilead.
Clearly read to us in the first person giving the listener an intimate insight into these 3 women.
Aunt Lydia once despised as the most vile and cruel administrator changes her spots and we meet a totally different and most human woman who is as vulnerable as her female charges.
Offred/June's 2 daughters are intrumental in accomplishing the destruction of this harsh regime.
Of course there are unfortunate victims in the story or else it would not be Gilead.
Altogether satisfying.

Surpasses expectations
I've never anticipated a book as eagerly as this and I was not disappointed. Atwood's work doesn't always hit the mark for me and I worried I wouldn't love this, but it's amazing.
It could have done without the last chapter, but it was a reflection if the end if The Handmaid's Tale, so I understand why it was there.

Amazing
I “read” The Testaments over only a few days- I really couldn’t put it down.
I had read Handmaid’s Tale back in the late 90s - so I relistened to Elizabeth Moss’ audible reading first - was worth brushing up before launching into this.
A really great wrap up and follow on.
