Complex, literary, and carefully written. It wasn't my favorite Atwood book, but is worth a read.

Relationships ending, relationships beginning, and everything in between. It was hard to really root for any of the characters though, as they were all quite flawed in their own ways. Well-written though.

I read this book many years ago. I liked it enough to buy all the rest of Margaret Atwood's works.
