Book Description:
Cat's Eye is the story of Elaine Risley, a controversial painter who returns to Toronto, the city of her youth, for a retrospective of her art. Engulfed by vivid images of the past, she reminisces about a trio of girls who initiated her into the fierce politics of childhood and its secret world of friendship, longing, and betrayal. Elaine must come to terms with her own identity as a daughter, a lover, an artist, and a woman--but above all she must seek release from her haunting memories. Disturbing, hilarious, and compassionate, Cat's Eye is a breathtaking novel of a woman grappling with the tangled knot of her life.

Margaret Atwood always makes me look at the world of women with new eyes. This story focuses on girls and their ability to hurt one another so deeply that a lifetime later, the wounds are just beginning to heal.

This is an excellent book--well written. It's the story of a young girl, her experiences with her friends and family while growing up. I did't want the book to end.

Goes back and forth from author's present day to her childhood. Engrossing read.

Great book! After reading this one, I wanted to run out and buy up every book Atwood had written!
I have been carrying this book around, so it is a little rough around the edges. Awesome book.
Atwood is great, as always! The childhood landscape she recreates is more vivid than one's own memories, yet chillingly real.
Not a cheery book at all, but certainly worthwhile. It sheds light on the friendships that influence us as adolescents.
