nora__reads 's review for:

Lady Oracle by Margaret Atwood
3.0
dark mysterious reflective slow-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A typically Atwoodian heroine, complex, unlikable, real. 
Mysterious up to the end, the heroine goes on a journey of self-reflection having run away from home. She was occasionally annoying, but the fairytale style narrative saved the story from feeling too over the top. 
Not the best Atwood book but a good read.
