The fat phobia was uncalled for but Atwood sure knows how to use words.

Not my favourite. She always writes a good story but this was overlong. Maybe I will like it more as I ponder on it.

While not my favorite Atwood book I found this to be an enjoyable and cleaver read.
Witty and fast moving this is the kind of book you can get through in one or two sittings.

Following Joan a Naïve writer and her relationships from mother to husband.
