    A touching story of childhood memories and angst and coming of age with perceived family problems that really weren't!

    I've been told by several women that this is Atwood's best. On one hand I can see that; it was magnificently well written and packed a lot of emotional punch. Yet...something was missing. I guess being a man I just didn't get it. Still, it was better than most books I read. I've come to expect a lot from Atwood. I guess every book of her's cannot be my favorite.

    I had to read this book for an English class in high school. It became one of my most loved books of all time. Margaret Atwood is a fantastic writer. She is able to capture feelings, both positive and negative, and make them relatable to the reader. In this coming of age novel, I was able to connect with the characters in a way that made me feel less alone in high school. I recommend every high school girl read this book and realize there is life after high school.

    disappointing after "The Blind Assassin", much more banal. I certianly expected a lot more...

    Great fiction - Margaret Atwood is such a talented writer. But it was still so painful, the bullying is just heart-wrenching.

    Brilliant novel, a journey through time and memory growing up in the cold environs of Toronto, Canada. Cordelia is a compelling and haunting character, Elaine is an idiosyncratic and observant artist, with a melancholic narrative voice. Stark and terrifying, Atwood navigates the terrors of growing up and the psychology of bullying in disturbing fashion.
    My favourite Atwood novel.
