Penguin Random House is excited to share the cover for Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments.

The Testaments is set 15 years after Offred’s final scene in The Handmaid’s Tale – the moment when the van door slams and readers had no way of knowing what lay ahead – and is narrated by three female characters.

It will be published on 10 September 2019 by Chatto and Windus, an imprint of Vintage, in hardback.

Margaret Atwood says:

‘I am so pleased that Noma Bar – who did such a brilliant job with the hardcover reissue of The Handmaid’s Tale – took on the challenge of designing the cover for The Testaments.

‘It can’t have been easy, but he came through with a cover that is fresh and intriguing: within an apparently simple double image, there are hidden figures to be discovered – just as in the book. I hope you like it as much as I do.’
