Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
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
