ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Testament" by John Grisham is a legal thriller centered on the aftermath of a billionaire's death and the surprising contents of his will. Troy Phelan's holographic will disinherits his six children, leaving his vast fortune to a previously unknown illegitimate daughter, Rachel Lane, a missionary in Brazil. The story follows a lawyer, Nate O'Riley, as he journeys to the Pantanal to locate Rachel and inform her of her inheritance. O'Riley faces numerous challenges during his travels, including language barriers and a severe illness. The plot unfolds as O'Riley grapples with his mission and the Phelan family tries to contest the will. The novel delves into themes of family, wealth, personal redemption and cultural clashes, while also examining the legal complexities surrounding a controversial will.
