Eddiecational | The Testaments by Margaret Atwood - Book Discussion @eddiecational | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
We've done it! Welcome to the final video of my series on Margaret Atwood's major works on The Testaments, Atwood's booker prize winning follow up to The Handmaid's Tale. Let me know your thoughts on the book: was it an effective follow-up? Did it answer all your questions about Gilead? Was it even necessary at all?

Also feel free to let me know what you think I should do next, whether a specific author or a different type of video entirely. I'm all ears!
