Atwood's The Blind Assassin is the first book that made me love the old-lady-tells-a-story genre. This is also an old lady book, as advertised. Atwood's partner of nearly 50 years died in 2019, and this book is mostly exploring grief, aging, and memory. This feels very personal, but also has a few stories
that take great advantage of her incredible imagination and sense of humor. I definitely recommend the audiobook, Atwood reads some of the stories and the other narrators they brought in (including Bahni Turpin for one story!) were great.
