Book Review of The Blind Assassin

The Blind Assassin
reviewed on + 19 more book reviews


Atwood is a remarkable storyteller. She weaves words into a beautiful tapestry with intricate patterns and hidden threads. There are two interwoven tales in The Blind Assassin, maybe even three, depending on how you look at it. It took me a while to work through it, Atwood does not write lightly, but I was glad I stuck with it.
