WOW. Amazing. At the 90th page or so, I grabbed a pen and started writing notes in margins, underlining, circling repeated motifs and themes, noting descriptive techniques, etc etc. I have a LOT to say about what I consider to be a FRIGGING TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE OF 'WELL WRITTEN NOVEL'. However, I am not writing reviews over Easter weekend, so I will be back to update this later...I do after all, need a few days to go through all of the scribbles I made in my paperback! --Jen from Quebec :0)

Beautiful writing but a much simpler story than what I expect from Atwood
Soooooo very creative to write a novel within a novel within a novel. Now, fill these multi-layers with boatloads of descriptions, interminable ramblings, and a family saga full of lethargic family members. For me, this book was torture.
