Margaret Atwood - The Robber Bride, Wellington in Wellington, Wellington for sale

Exploring the paradox of female villainy, thisÿÿtale of three fascinating women is another peerlessÿÿdisplay of literary virtuosity by the supremelyÿÿgifted author ofCat's EyeandÿÿThe Handmaid's Tale. Roz, Charisÿÿand Tony all share a wound, and her name is Zenia.ÿÿBeautiful, smart and hungry, by turns manipulativeÿÿand vulnerable, needy and ruthless, Zenia is theÿÿturbulent center of her own perpetual saga. Sheÿÿentered their lives in the sixties, when they were inÿÿcollege. Over the three decades since, she hasÿÿdamaged each of them badly, ensnaring their sympathy,ÿÿbetraying their trust, and treating their men as loot. Then Zenia dies, or at any rate the threeÿÿwomen -- with much relief -- attend her funeral. ButÿÿasThe Robber Bridebegins,ÿÿRoz, Charis and Tony have come together at a trendyÿÿrestaraunt for their monthly lunch when in walksÿÿthe seemingly resurrected Zenia. In thisÿÿconsistently entertaining and profound new novel,ÿÿMargaret Atwood reports from the farthest reachesÿÿof the war between the sexes with herÿÿcharacteristic well-crafted prose, rich and devious humor, andÿÿcompassion. 544 pages
