This was my first book by Atwood. She's quite a dynamo with words. My favorite story was "The Last Duchess." So sharp! I love her writing style. I didn't love every story in this collection. My favorites were at the beginning and those involving Nell and Lizzie -- these sisters have a great relationship. Overall, this tempted me to check out more by Atwood--maybe a regular book next time.
