INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Named a Best Book of 2023 by the Globe and Mail and Indigo
A dazzling collection of fifteen short stories from Margaret Atwood, the internationally acclaimed, award-winning author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments.
Margaret Atwood has established herself as one of the most visionary and canonical authors in the world. This collection of fifteen extraordinary storiesâsome of which have appeared in The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazineâexplore the full warp and weft of experience, speaking to our unique times with Atwoodâs characteristic insight, wit and intellect.Â
The two intrepid sisters of the title story grapple with loss and memory on a perfect summer evening; âImpatient Griseldaâ explores alienation and miscommunication with a fresh twist on a folkloric classic; and âMy Evil Motherâ touches on the fantastical, examining a mother-daughter relationship in which the mother purports to be a witch. At the heart of the collection are seven extraordinary stories that follow a married couple across the decades, the moments big and small that make up a long life of uncommon loveâand what comes after.
Returning to short fiction for the first time since her 2014 collection Stone Mattress, Atwood showcases both her creativity and her humanity in these remarkable tales which by turns delight, illuminate, and quietly devastate.
