A review by avesmaria
Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood
4.0
Just read this for the first time since middle school, and it's better than I remembered, so I'm taking my rating up to 4 stars.
Cat's Eye is the story of a middle-aged painter looking back on her life, especially friendships with other girls in her youth and the eventual unraveling of those relationships. While it lacks some of the inventive sci-fi/dystopian settings of some of my favorite Atwood novels, it's still got her signature voice. It's a novel I appreciate much more now, as an adult navigating an artistic career and parenthood, than I did as a young teenager.
