Bookmarks: The Testaments
Friday, November 22, 2:00 PM
Library Meeting Room
Patricia Klewer will review The Testaments by Margaret Atwood. In this brilliant sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, acclaimed author Atwood answers the questions that have tantalized readers for decades. When the van door slammed on Offred’s future at the end of The Handmaid’s Tale, readers had no way of telling what lay ahead for her—freedom, prison or death. With The Testaments, the wait is over. Margaret Atwood’s sequel picks up the story fifteen years after Offred stepped into the unknown, with the explosive testaments of three female narrators from Gilead. Shortlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize. This program will also be offered at the Westchester Township Museum in Chesterton, Thursday, November 21 at 2:00 pm.
