Bodily Harm by Margaret Atwood

3.0

This wasn't my favorite Margaret Atwood book. The plot was barely a plot, more like an ending which was just designed to wrap everything up. The characters were almost stock characters in a way, "Daniel" and "Jake," respectively the dreamy rich doctor and the more obtainable generic male jerk who the protagonist couldn't help but fall for anyways, or "Jocasta" the sassy female sidekick or "Lora" the tropical free spirit. The most compelling part was the descriptions of the protagonist's health issues and dealing with that loss. Atwood hit her stride later in the 1980s, but this one isn't absolutely necessary.
