“Disconcerting, faintly ominous, and moving with the greatest of
ease from the expected to the unexpected. . . . Waywardly funny. .
. . A distinct pleasure to read.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Atwood has the magic of turning the particular and the parochial
into the universal.” —The Times (London)
"Chock-full of startling images, superbly and classically crafted.
. . . Kept me in stitches half the time." —Saturday Night
