Margaret Atwood is truly an incredible author, whose writing is without fault.
This exploration of a woman’s role was incredibly complex and interesting; especially alongside a look into a character whose “fatness” came before she was acknowledged as a woman or any other personal trait, and how this impacted her.
At times I got a little lost as the book jumped forwards and backwards in her life. The story also dragged a little bit in the middle.
Overall, a good read!
