Week 39-22 - Curiosities
What I've Been Reading
The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
https://bookshop.org/a/87154/9780525562627
The Testaments tells the story of three women living different lives that converge fifteen years after Haidmaid's Tale. Thankfully not nearly as creepy as the first book, but no less engrossing. Margaret Atwood always pricks with near future speculative fiction that hits far too close to reality.
