The Testaments

Devastation Rating
dystopian political betrayal literary fiction
Our Take
Three women narrate the collapse of Gilead from within — including Aunt Lydia, whose accommodation with the regime is the most morally complex portrayal in the duology. Atwood understands that the most dangerous people inside a system of oppression are sometimes those who know it best. The betrayal runs in all directions.
