How can one woman be so versatile--write award-winning books across the fields of history, science fiction, comedy, Shakespearian classics, and so much more. Margaret Atwood is a writer who keeps amazing me, and this book has to be among her very best. From reading this book, I have to imagine that she grew up affluent, but when she write about poverty, I have to conclude she grew up poor. She must have lived a thousand lives. I am so lucky that she has touched mine.
