The Testaments

Usually, when an author goes back to create a new story in a world they last stepped foot in a quarter century ago, especially off the success of an acclaimed adaptation, it feels like a cheap money grab, or an admission that they have no original ideas left. But Atwood isn't like other authors. This feels like a necessary counterpoint rather than mere franchising. The Handmaid's Tale now feels like one of two halves rather than a standalone work.
