Über diesen Titel

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE • A gripping return to Gilead, The Testaments exposes the regime’s inner decay through the intersecting stories of three women whose choices could ignite its downfall.

Now a Hulu Original series starring Ann Dowd, reprising her role as Aunt Lydia, Chase Infiniti as Agnes, and Lucy Halliday as Daisy.

The Testaments can be read on its own or as a sequel to Margaret Atwood’s classic, The Handmaid’s Tale.


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 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 that of Aunt Lydia, whose complex past and uncertain future unfold in surprising and pivotal ways.

With The Testaments, Margaret Atwood 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.

Kritikerstimmen

“A chilling invitation no Atwood fan can resist . . . The Testaments reminds us of the power of truth in the face of evil.
People

“Margaret Atwood’s powers are on full display . . . Everyone should read The Testaments.
Los Angeles Times

A fast, immersive narrative that’s as propulsive as it is melodramatic.”
—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

The Testaments is worthy of the literary classic it continues. That’s thanks in part to Atwood’s capacity to surprise, even writing in a universe we think we know so well.”
USA Today

The women of Gilead are more fascinating than ever.
—NPR

There may be no novelist better suited to tapping the current era’s anxieties than Margaret Atwood.
Entertainment Weekly

Powerful, revealing, and engaging.
—Boston Globe


A rare treat . . . a corker of a plot, culminating in a breathless flight to freedom.”
—Laura Miller, Slate.com

Eines der besten Hörbücher, das ich je gehört habe. Als es zu Ende war, musste ich es sofort noch einmal hören. Zum besseren Verständnis sollte vorher „The Handmaid‘s Tale“ gehört werden.

Grandios!

Amazing story

Absolutely addictive. The different narrators make the different characters come to life and immerse the listener in their dystopian world. Even better than the book.

Amazing audiobook

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.

The end left a lot of non fully explained endings as in the handsmade tail and as expected. Really good.

Intense and impossible to stop
