"The first great novel of the new millennium." -- Newsday "Absorbing... expertly rendered... Virtuosic storytelling [is] on display." -- The New York Times "Brilliant... Opulent... Atwood is a poet.... as well as a contriver of fiction, and scarcely a sentence of her quick, dry yet avid prose fails to do useful work, adding to a picture that becomes enormous." --John Updike, The New Yorker "Chilling... Lyrical... [Atwood's] most ambitious work to date." -- The Boston Globe "Hauntingly powerful.... A novel of luminous prose, scalpel-precise insights and fierce characters...
