This was my first time reading a full-length novel by Margaret Atwood that had nothing to do with The Handmaid's Tale series!

Although a slow novel, it was one where I was eager to keep turning the pages. It's a big book, but I got through it surprisingly quickly. 

I LOVED the narrative structure of it: we had a mix between the past and the present day, stories within stories, and newspaper and magazine articles. It was such a clever way for me to feel immersed in the memories.

If you're interested in modern historical fiction stories about challenging sibling relationships, especially of two women, then I wholeheartedly encourage you to check this out.

I'm so excited to discover what else Atwood has to offer!
