By the author of The Handmaid''s Tale, The Testaments and Alias Grace
''Clara'', she said, ''do you think I''m normal?''
''I''d say you''re almost abnormally normal, if you know what I mean.''
Marian is determinedly ordinary, waiting to get married. She likes her work, her broody flatmate and her sober fianc© Peter. All goes well at first, but Marian has reckoned without an inner self that wants something more, that calmly sabotages her careful plans, her stable routine - and her digestion. Marriage la mode, Marian discovers, is something she literally can''t stomach . . .
Margaret Atwood''s first novel is both a scathingly funny satire of consumerism and a heady exploration of emotional cannibalism.
''Atwood has the magic of turning the particular and the parochial into the universal'' The Times
''Written with a brilliant angry energy'' Observer
''Margaret Atwood not only has a sense of humour, she has wit and style in abundance . . . a joy to read'' Good Housekeeping
''A witty, elegant, generous and patient writer'' Punch
