Review:
"A splendid, fully integrated work. . . . Atwood is a writer of importance, with a deep understanding of human behavior." --The New York Times Book Review "Atwood writes with savage humor. Sentences are spare, kept under enormous compression, like a bent bow." --Esquire "Moving flawlessly from wit to pathos and back, Atwood constructs a superb living exhibit in which the artifacts are unique. . . . There is ample treasure in this novel." --Chicago Tribune

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A particularly complicated love triangle sets this poetic novel in motionfrom the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The TestamentsElizabeth and Nate, though habitually unfaithful to each other, have remained married for more than a decade. But after Elizabeths latest lover commits suicide, she emerges from her grief to find that her gentle, indecisive husband is on the verge of leaving her. He has become enamored of Lesje, a young paleontologist and perennial innocent who seems to prefers dinosaur fossils to humans. Elizabeth sets her sights on Lesjes live-in boyfriend, William, and the ensuing emotional maelstrom threatens to upend all of their lives. Blending painful honesty with cutting satire, Margaret Atwood give us characters whose haunting dilemmas linger long after the final page. Two couples, more apart than together, whose complicated lives are tied to each other, are part of an unstoppable chain of events that slowly shatters them to pieces.
