Berry Good Book Club

Margaret Atwood: The Testaments
This month's bookseller host: Toni
Wednesday, December 1, 2021, 7:30pm
~1st Wednesdays: online, via Zoom~
This month's bookseller host: Toni
You already love our booksellers' recommendations: what could be better than a chance to come back after you've read what they recommend to talk about it? That's the idea behind our newest monthly book club, Berry Good Books. Every month, a different Loganberry Bookseller will recommend a favorite book and lead a discussion with community members.

When the van door slammed on Offred's future at the end of THE HANDMAID'S TALE, readers had no way of telling what lay ahead for her--freedom, prison or death. With THE TESTAMENTS, the wait is over.

Margaret Atwood's sequel picks up the story more than fifteen years after Offred stepped into the unknown, with the explosive testaments of three female narrators from Gilead.
