The number 1 bestseller and winner of the Booker Prize ‘the testaments is Atwood at her best... To read this book is to feel the world turning’ Anne Enright the Republic of Gilead is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, two girls with radically different experiences of the regime come face to face with the legendary, ruthless aunt Lydia. But how far will each go for what she believes? ‘Everything the handmaid’s tale fans wanted and more. Prepare to hold your breath throughout, and to cry real tears at the end’ stylist ‘Atwood challenges us constantly and poses the question that lies like a Pearl inside the shell of this frighteningly readable novel, “before you sit in judgement, how would you behave in Gilead?’’’ Sunday Telegraph.
Margarete Elisabeth Waldstein (who would be known to most of the world as Margret Rey) was born in Hamburg on May 16, 1906. Her future husband, Hans Augusto Rey, was born on September 16, 1898, in Hamburg, Germany. He grew up there near the world-famous Hagenbeck Zoo, and developed a lifelong love for animals and drawing. The two met briefly when Margret was a young girl, before she left Hamburg to study art. They were reunited in 1935 in Rio de Janeiro, where Hans was selling bathtubs as part of a family business and Margret was escaping the political climate in Germany. Margret convinced Hans to leave the family business, and soon they were working together on a variety of projects.
