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.

Imminently readable; intelligent and emotional.
