The Testaments (Paperback)

'The Testaments belongs to our moment of history, when things in a number of countries seem to be heading more towards Gilead' - The Guardian

'The Testaments is a much more accessible book than its brilliant yet forbidding predecessor. At times it races along like a spy thriller written by Charles Dickens, rich in suspense, coincidence and messy humanity.' - The Sunday Telegraph

'One of the greatest writers of the past century. A world without Margaret Atwood in it would not be anywhere near as brilliant' - The Sunday Times

‘A blockbuster of propulsive, almost breathless narrative, stacked with twists and turns worthy of a Gothic novel.’ - The Daily Telegraph

‘An addictively readable, fast-paced adventure…. A hopeful reminder that resistance is possible and such regimes do fall.’ - The Independent

‘A celebration of sisterhood and a sharp-eyed analysis of the power of stories to re-shape the world.’ - The Sunday Times

‘Atwood’s task in returning to the world of her best-known work was a big one, but the result is a success that more than justifies her Booker prize shortlisting.’ - The Guardian

‘A formidable achievement that will doubtless be read in decades to come.’ - The i

‘What makes the book most mesmerizing is Atwood’s working of the everyday into the unthinkable; her way of conveying how, in different degrees, these characters came to accept their reality, and even to become complicit in it.’ - The Seattle Times

‘Atwood’s prose is as powerful as ever, tense and spare. She invests certain phrases with ironic fury: adulteress, precious flower, Certificate of Whiteness, fanatics, defiled. Her word games are ingenious. She forces you to think about language and how it can be made to lie.’ - BBC
