Kind of an odd style, I didn't like it as much as Oryx and Crake. It seemed to be one of those "feelings" books. After reading some reviews that pointed out that Atwood was writing in the general style of Chaucer, I guess it makes more sense. Supposedly, this takes place in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
