MEDIA REVIEWS
Brilliant ... So intimate it seems to be written on the skin -- Hilary Mantel, two-time winner of the Man Booker Prize
A sensuous, perplexing book, at once sinister and dignified, grubby and gorgeous, panoramic yet specific ... I don't think I have ever been so thrilled ... This, surely is as far as a novel can go * Independent on Sunday *
The outstanding novelist of our age * Sunday Times *
Margaret Atwood

Widely regarded as one of the world’s leading writers, Margaret Atwood is an author, essayist, poet and activist whose inventive and diverse literary output ranges widely and deeply from feminist classics such as The Handmaid’s Tale and The Edible Woman to complex blends of Science Fiction and reality such as her Man Booker Prize winning novel The Blind Assassin and chilling dystopian visions like Oryx and Crake.
