About this title

Review:

'An acute and poetic observer of the eternal, universal, rum relationships between men and women.' (The Times)

'The mind revealed in this collection of short stories is acutely perceptive, in love with language and capable of seeing significant connections between apparently disparate circumstances.' (Evening Standard)

'If anyone has better insight into women and their central problem – men – than Margaret Atwood, and can voice them with as much wit, impact and grace, then they haven't started writing yet.' (Globe and Mail)

'Margaret Atwood's stories are fierce parables about the horror of city life and the power politics of relationships. The fierceness filters insidiously through the leisurely realism of her domestic interiors, clothes, meals, weather ... A remarkable collection.' (The Sunday Times)
