Fifteen years after the uprising, the Republic of Gilead—occupying the former territory of the United States—has become even more isolated, with its laws growing increasingly oppressive. Agnes Mackenzie, a student at Aunt Lydia’s elite preparatory school for the daughters of high-ranking commanders and officials, is tasked with helping a new arrival, Daisy, adapt after coming to Gilead from Canada. A life-changing friendship soon blossoms between the two girls. Daisy’s outsider perspective helps Agnes realize just how cruel and unjust their dystopian society truly is. Based on Margaret Atwood’s 2019 novel, The Testaments, the highly anticipated Handmaid\'s Tale sequel.
