lauraellis 's review for:

Lady Oracle by Margaret Atwood

3.0

---

A good book for the most part— about a woman who is fat and unpopular as a child at school—I liked this part especially well—and then develops a variety of different identities as an adult and has love affairs, gets wrapped up with some crazy but ineffective Canadian communists, and finally fakes her own death and runs off to Italy. I though the book very good—but I don’t like nor do I understand the ending, thoug hit was tru[e] to the central character—it wasn’t as “real” as the first part.
