Am I enjoying this? It is a case in which I don't know yet and want to see where it leads. I did not fall in love with it but am open to liking it. We do place our sympathy with Marian, wrinkle our nose at Ainsley, the roomate who scoops extra funds for alcohol Marian scarcely drinks and who sends clothes to a laundromat she is too lazy to visit. We hate Peter. No fiancé of mine would tell an old hunting story.

People who dissect symbolism are not impressive. I love people who let stories sweep them away. I notice there is no loyalty in Marian's circle. Peter might be faithful but I dislike him. There is no respect between them. Duncan is depressed, unfeeling to everyone. He and Marian view relatives distantly. Ainsley and the landlady are selfish. Clara ia a friend but alien as a parent. Her toddler is disgusting!

I don't know Margaret Atwood's books. I gathered many for years and am glad to try them, as a Canadian. However "The Edible Woman" is compared to a Chinese book called "The Vegetarian". I am concerned they cast cruelty-free eaters as a mental illness but I hope to find this novel has nothing to do with calling us crazy. Vegetarians would not tolerate a hunter. Marian's aversions are very absurd, arbitrary items.
