Margaret Atwood, 2000

Date read: 4/25/25


Atwood is an amazing writer, I knew that coming in. I especially loved Oryx and Crake, though it was at times very difficult to read. A very good writer describing very bad things.


This was three different stories told in one: the story of Iris, the story of Laura, and the story of The Blind Assassin. Of course they all end up together in the end, weaving a family narrative.


It is amazing, as I expected from Atwood. Very very good. Highly recommend.
