The Testaments by Margaret Atwood

How I Found: Well I’ve waited for this one. If you’ve read The Handmaid’s Tale, you’ve no doubt speculated, but this provides both a prequel and a sequel. Left wondering about the details of how Gilead came to be a surprising character provides the background telling us, “You don’t believe the sky is falling until a chunk of it falls on you.”
Why You Might Read: I can't think of a reason you wouldn’t, but this provides the means and the motive. Given the option, “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I took the one most traveled by. And it was littered with corpses.” Read to consider what choices you would make, given the circumstances and find pity and hope for a villain you once despised while those you were left wondering about resurface in the unlikeliest of places.
