| I loved this book, but I can see how not everyone will enjoy it. Describing it as “part detective novel, part psychological thriller” feels like a stretch and doesn’t capture the essence of the story. This book is a journey. It’s the main character figuring out life. It isn’t necessarily the events that take place; it’s more about the character’s mindset as she tries to put her life together.Having said that, I really enjoyed this book. The writing is amazing as always with Atwood and the descriptions really get you thinking. The first person narrative has you questioning what is real and the bias of one’s own experience. Beautiful, beautiful work. A thought-provoking puzzle that holds you to the end. |
