A review by adrianlarose
Bodily Harm by Margaret Atwood

4.0

If you like ATWOOD (not just the whiz bang modernity of very recent Atwood), read it. Definitely a dark character study of a woman who feels shattered and unable to relate to those around her, or even feel human; not a happy or fun book in any way. Life is not always happy or fun. Many male readers might be reminded why many men don't like Atwood (though I suppose those are the type of men who never would have read her, anyway). It's interesting to see Atwood set something in the Caribbean, since I live in the part (or kind) of Canada where most of her other books are set. And it is a very easy and short read with very direct, clear language - nothing as convoluted as many of her (wonderful) stories.
