Blind Assassin ( 2000) by Margaret Atwood


Though this book won The Booker, I really did not enjoy it.  The separate stories into space and with the lovers caused me to feel disjointed in my reading. The story of the sisters was interesting enough, however. The last few books by Atwood e.g. Onyx and Crank are also an example of her taking her writing in another direction.  However, I do not want to travel that direction of her.  This may be a case of The  Emperors New Clothes. I used to love Margaret Atwood, but some love affairs come to an end.
