"The first great novel of the new millennium."
-"Newsday
"
"Margaret Atwood is one of the most brilliant and unpredictable
novelists alive."
-"Literary Review" (U.K.)
"An example of a writer at the very peak of her performance....As
it delves into the kinds of relationships that can exist between
men and women and the rich and poor, it becomes a compassionate and
utterly honest book. It is profound and touching. It is to be
treasured."
-"Edmonton Journal
"
"Atwood performs a spectacular sleight of hand, fashioning a
bewitching, brilliantly layered story of how people see only what
they wish to."
-"Entertainment Weekly
"
"Dazzling and entertaining...."
-"Globe and Mail
"
""The Blind Assassin" is quite simply Atwood's most emotional,
yearning, heartfelt, sexy, and elegiac book ever."
-"Quill & Quire
"
"Atwood has never written with more flair and versatility than in
this multidimensional novel. A brilliant accomplishment."
-"Sunday Times" (U.K.)
"Boldly imagined and brilliantly executed."
-"Kirkus Reviews" (starred review)
"There is no presence more formidably protean than Margaret
Atwood's in Canadian culture....["The Blind Assassin"] will
alternately charm and beguile its readers."
-"Winnipeg Free Press

love, and revenge...."
-"Booklist" (U.S.) (starred review)
"A tour de force."
-"Chicago Tribune
"
"Sumptuous and compelling....."
-"Toronto Star
"
""The Blind Assassin" is the kind of story so full of intrigue and
desperation that you take it to bed with you simply because you
can't bear to put it down....It's one thing to write an
accomplished novel; it's another entirely to spin a tale so
brilliantly that the reader internalizes it."
-"Harper's Bazaar
"
"Atwood is a dazzling storyteller with a distinctive voice and an
ear attuned to irony."
-"London Free Press

Once again, Atwood (Wilderness Tips) has written a compelling novel with many different layers of interpretation. At first glance, these tales are a collection of disjointed short stories; yet upon further examination, they are the reminiscences of an old woman named Iris, with death appearing to be the unifying thread connecting them. At the same time, these stories comprise the Chase family history, and Iris uses them to describe her life, beginning with her parents' marriage and ending with the deaths of various relatives. Margot Dionne renders an acceptable reading, but it is far from outstanding. The story-within-a-story format permits the listener to stop and start without losing his or her train of thought. The sound volume is consistent. This program will be in demand by Atwood fans; recommended for public libraries.DLaurie Selwyn, San Antonio P.L. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
