A review by shirin_mandi
Lady Oracle by Margaret Atwood
5.0
Joan Foster is a writer of Gothic romances, her story begins with the decision to start a new life, then we know about her childhood and next continue to this time of her life in which the situation get out of control.
Maybe running away from reality and difficulties are not a very logical decision, but I admire the people who easily can give up everyone and gave up everything, live their own lives, and don't care about what others say. So, I think Joan is something like this in a good way.
This book reminded me of the CAT's EYE with a small mystery. LADY ORACLE was a little different, maybe because of the dark comedy that I never read in Atwood's works. If there was not a too much-threatening stalker, this book became one of my all-time favorites. But I should say I was impressed with the mother-daughter relationship and liked the character of Aunt Lou. So I can say it was an interested and enjoyable book. Something pleasant to read.
