Caly's TOP 5 in 2025 | The Testaments - Margaret Atwood

Caly says... An incredible story of friendship, sisterhood and courage. As we gain a deeper understanding of the insecurity of Gilead as a authoritarian state, Atwood looks to the responsibilities of the surrounding countries and the wider world, uncovering an all too familiar array of failures. A must read for everyone, cleverly interweaved, tender and with lots of phenomenal women characters - Atwood's a genius and this one won't disappoint.
