I was on a big Atwood roll one time. Loved Handmaid's Tail, and The Edible Woman and Lady Oracle but then I read this, Bodily Harm, and Life Before Man back to back and that put me off her. They both seemed to wallow and heave, little story, and lots of grimness that seemed to go nowhere. Haven't read another Atwood in 10 years now.
