Bodily Harm by Margaret Atwood
4.0
This is one of Atwood's earlier books, and I can definitely see some differences in her writing.
I think what I love about Margaret Atwood is that she is able to write about complex feelings and emotions, but in a round-about way that does not make it obvious that she is doing it.
This was the story of Rennie, a woman recently recovering from breast cancer (and feeling that her life is over). She basically stops living until she decides to go on a trip to a middle of nowhere island to get away from her life for a bit. And that's what happens...in a way. She gets a little caught up in a little revolution...
In typical Atwood fashion, the ending leaves the reader wondering...
Oh Atwood! I heart you!
