Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"The first great novel of the new millennium." --Newsday

"Absorbing... expertly rendered... Virtuosic storytelling [is] on display." --The New York Times

"Brilliant... Opulent... Atwood is a poet.... as well as a contriver of fiction, and scarcely a sentence of her quick, dry yet avid prose fails to do useful work, adding to a picture that becomes enormous." --John Updike, The New Yorker

"Chilling... Lyrical... [Atwood's] most ambitious work to date." --The Boston Globe

"Hauntingly powerful.... A novel of luminous prose, scalpel-precise insights and fierce characters... Atwood's new work is so assured, so elegant and so incandescently intelligent, she casts her contemporaries in the shade." --The Atlanta Journal--Constitution

"Grand storytelling on a grand scale... Sheerly enjoyable." --The Washington Post Book World

"Bewitching... A killer novel.... Atwood's crisp wit and steely realism are reminiscent of Edith Wharton... A wonderfully complex narrative." --The Christian Science Monitor

"A tour de force." --Chicago Tribune

Reseña del editor:

In an imaginative, multi-layered novel, Iris describes the 1945 death of her sister, Laura, who drives her car off a bridge, followed, two years later, by the death of her husband, a wealthy industrialist whose body is found aboard a sailboat, in a story that features a novel-within-a-novel about two unnamed lovers who meet in a dark backstreet room. Winner of the Booker Prize. Reprint. 300,000 first printing.
