I found this somewhat slow to start, but it grew on me. The story itself is very well done, and beautifully portrays womanhood and the bond between mother and daughter. Seeing in the acknowledgements that it was partly inspired by The Blind Assassin made me appreciate it even more. That’s my favorite Atwood book, if not my all-time favorite book, and Weyward certainly resonated with me in much the same way that Atwood’s writing does.
