Lady Oracle
by Margaret Atwood
Lady Oracle follows author Jean and her time in Italy after she has faked her own death. In true Atwood style it is a beautifully rich portrait of a complex woman reflecting on her life and how she has come to her current position.
Lady Oracle examines the multiplicity of identity - we are none of us one single person and we present many faces to the world. Atwood describes the Jean’s relationships with food and her mother incredibly powerfully and with astonishing accuracy around compulsive eating given this wasn’t really on the radar when Lady Oracle was written.
Jean is every woman struggling with her sense of self and how it is defined through external influences. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
