Critic reviews

I read this when I was about sixteen and remember its menace. It is about the potential toxicity in female friendships, which is a contentious issue. Atwood is never pigeonholed, she's wry and has a poet's eye
A brilliant, three-dimensional mosaic . . . the story of Elaine's childhood is so real and heartbreaking you want to stand up in your seat and cheer
