I really enjoyed this one. I thought it was paced well, until the last few chapters were it rushes through the latter years of Grace's incarceration in the form of letters spaced over that time frame. I understand that this is because there is very little evidence of what actually happened then, but I can't help but wish Atwood would have taken a bit more creative license. Overall a really good read, and one I'll come back to again in the future.

well developed characters; twisty and turny plot; focus on female duality: innocent or femme fatale

Ich finde Margaret Atwoods Stil einfach so klasse. Sie schreibt grandios und fesselnd, man wird förmlich in die Geschichte mit reingezogen. Man spürt außerdem, wie viel Nachforschung sie betrieben haben muss. Beide Hauptcharaktere, Grace Marks und Sr. Simon Jordan fand ich faszinierend. Deren Charakterisierung und Entwicklung wird superb beschrieben.
