A late night and early morning reading The Testaments by Margaret Atwood. I recently re-read The Handmaidās Tale because Iād read it for uni decades ago and forgotten a lot of it, and was interested enough to read the sequel. Thoroughly enjoyed both books.

Have you seen the TV series? As someone who hadnāt read the books, interested to know how it compares.

Iāve only seen bits of it, but it struck me as fairly intense and compelling. I read that Margaret Atwood herself liked the series, so thatās a pretty good endorsement.

The first season is very close. Iāve not read Testaments, but the show goes off into its own world after then. I find the fact the handmaid never has a name a feature of the book that the show misses, though I understand why they changed that.
