The Testaments is a 2019 novel by Margaret Atwood. A sequel to her The Handmaid's Tale (1985), the novel takes place 15 years after Offred's final scene in the original novel, and is narrated by three female characters: Aunt Lydia, a key character in The Handmaid's Tale; Agnes, a young woman living in Gilead; and Daisy, a young woman in Canada who is horrified by Gilead's abuses of human rights.[4]
The younger women are Offred's two daughters; Agnes, who was adopted by a Gileadan family after being captured and taken from Offred, is being prepared for her assigned role as the future wife of a commander, while Daisy, who was smuggled out of Gilead, was placed for adoption with a couple who owned a used clothing store in the Queen Street West neighbourhood of Toronto, and was raised without knowledge of either the truth of her origins or the existence of her sister.
