Listen to Margaret Atwood read from "The Testaments"

NPR has an exclusive recording of Margaret Atwood reading from The Testaments, her upcoming sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale.

We’ll just cut to the chase and embed it below (or, if you'd prefer to read, the Guardian has printed an excerpt, too.)

If the excerpt has whetted your appetite for the September 10 release (of course it has), you can also read Danielle Kurtzleben’s spoiler-free review of The Testaments on NPR.
