Denae: Thanks for stopping by and I am glad my review was helpful to you. I love Atwood, and I could not agree more with your sentiments. She is really one of the very best writers of women characters (in my opinion!) and so far I have pretty much loved everything she has written!

I have read The Blind Assassin, The Robber Bride, Alias Grace and The Handmaid’s Tale and I liked The Robber Bride the best because of the complexity of the plot and how Atwood shows her different views on feminism and social justice. Roz is a very strong women and is still hurt by the powers of Zenia, this shows that not only weak women, with a lower social standing, may be hurt and overpowered. All women are subjective to the pain that men can bring and pain of life in general. I really enjoyed reading this book review and was able to gain a deeper understanding of the novel.

I would encourage women of all ages to read Atwood’s work. I believe that women will enjoy reading about life’s main conflicts; female identity, relations, victimization and the value and power of life.

I love Atwood! She wrote one of my favorite all time novels Alias Grace. I haven’t read this one yet, but it’s on my TBR.

I’ve only ever read her two scifi-ish novels, but I think I’m holding out on reading her books because I think I’ll really love them and read them too quickly.. does that make sense?

I’ve only read one Atwood and was a bit torn about whether I liked it or not. But I do want to read more. Thanks for this high recommendation.

Thanks Joanne! Atwood’s female characters are always so strong and distinct, aren’t they? I love that about her writing!

Wonderful review, this is one of my favorite Atwoods, mainly because the characters were so strong and I felt a connection to them as though they were real people.
