eirely 's review for:

Lady Oracle by Margaret Atwood
5.0

I don't know what it is about Margaret Atwood, but she always writes characters that make me feel just a little bit okay with being the worse parts of myself. All of the characters I have read by her are so beautifully human that it hurts. I have not often read characters that are so openly themselves to the reader even as they struggle to present a uniform face to the world, often to their detriment. This was quite a different book than what I expected from the beginning
