A review by misslezlee
Lady Oracle by Margaret Atwood
4.0
In 1970/80s Britain Virago Press was the source for women’s writing. Stridently feminist and truly eye opening, it brought many books to this reader’s attention. Some were republished neglected novels but Margaret Atwood was a contemporary author who rapidly became a favorite. Somehow, I missed Lady Oracle, so it was a treat to return to her early work.
I honestly thought I was the only person who, as a child, had danced around a paper mâché toadstool in a church basement while singing rhymes about being a Sprite. But here is evidence that I didn’t dream it up! And how did my Brown Owl and Tawny Owl manage to be in Canada when they were really in the East Midlands of England?
