Lady Oracle by Margaret Atwood
4.0
“I planned my death carefully. . .”
Who would not be hooked on those first 5 words of the novel Lady Oracle by Margaret Atwood? Especially with the knowledge I have about a recent read (which I won’t say because it will give away part of the book, but those of you who have also read it recently know what I’m talking about!!!!).
Joan is a gothic romance author who has hidden her entire life from her true being. She was a very overweight child who never was happy and hid her true feelings from her friends. Joan hid her old self from her husband Arthur, as well as hiding the fact that she wrote these gothic romance novels.
Joan has faked her death, and as you read Lady Oracle, you find out more about Joan’s true self, and all of the lies she has told.
The big question is: Will Joan ever be honest and accept herself for who she is?
I read Lady Oracle for my own altered version of Project Atwood, for my November read. Atwood did not disappoint. Once again, she wrote a fabulous novel, one I loved reading from start to finish.
Haven’t read a book by Atwood? I suggest starting here, with Lady Oracle, or with The Handmaid’s Tale, which I recently realized is my favorite book.
What is your favorite Margaret Atwood novel?
Thanks for reading,
