LONDON - Margaret Atwood’s “The Testaments” and Bernardine Evaristo’s “Girl, Woman, Other” jointly won the Booker Prize on Monday in a surprise double award in which the literary prize recognized its oldest and first black woman winners.
Atwood, 79, previously won the prize in 2000 for “The Blind Assassin,” and “The Testaments,” published last month, is the sequel to the Canadian author’s best-selling 1985 novel, “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Atwood’s book, eagerly awaited by fans, returns to the totalitarian state of Gilead some 15 years after the end of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” telling the story of three women.
I'm still surprised they split the award.
She’s a woman
Nice 👏👏

Congratulations to two brilliant women.
