Complex, literary, and carefully written. It wasn't my favorite Atwood book, but is worth a read.

Loved it.

Relationships ending, relationships beginning, and everything in between. It was hard to really root for any of the characters though, as they were all quite flawed in their own ways. Well-written though.

I read this book many years ago. I liked it enough to buy all the rest of Margaret Atwood's works.

Very introspective... somewhat depressing but worth reading

Although I love Margaret Atwood, this is not one of my favorites. That said, I still liked it and would recommend it if you are an Atwood fan too. A very interesting character study of 3 people whose lives are falling apart. Starts out slow and not a lot of action but the characters came to life for me.
