Disappointing.  I have read a lot of Atwood's work, and some (like The Blind Assassin) is magical, most is excellent . . . but this was somewhat mundane.  Yes, she captures the challenges of childhood very well, and the challenges of life as a woman growing up in the 1940s, and as an artist in adult life, but overall I felt the story was overly drawn out and without enough of Atwood's magic.
