When the burnt-out Yankee Paul (does he smuggle dope or hustle for the CIA?) offers her a no-hooks, no strings affair, she is caught up in a lethal web of corruption. Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women's Fiction World Literature Fiction Caribbean

Critic reviews

Atwood's vivid prose, tough wit and acute insight turn a scenario that would suit a beach-read thriller into a complex and compelling novel

I did enjoy this story but not as much at the other Atwoods I have listened to (Lady Oracle, Blind Assassin, The Penelopiad, Surfacing) I just thought the main character in this one didn’t seem quite complete. In some ways she was so insightful and aware of the situation and then all of a sudden she seemed clueless. Still very enjoyable though and the performances were excellent.

Not as good as other Atwood works
