I didn't like much about this book, the plot was slow to develop, or happen, a lot of focus on what felt like inconsequential things, and the characters are hard to like.
The only thing that kept me going is Atwood's prose. Honestly she could write the backs of shampoo bottles and I'd read them. She's a talented writer, but this book was not for me.
