BY THE BESTSELLING, PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE HANDMAID'S TALE
'Atwood has never written better than in this novel of glittering breadth and dark, eerie depths' SUNDAY TIMES
'As smart as anything Atwood has written, and she is always smart' NEW YORK TIMES
Zenia is beautiful, smart and greedy, by turns manipulative and vulnerable, needy and ruthless, a man's dream and a woman's nightmare. She is also dead. Just to make sure, Tony, Roz and Charis, who first met and suffered her as university students in the sixties, are there for the funeral. But five years on, as the three women share an indulgent, sisterly lunch, the unthinkable happens; Zenia is back.
'Atwood's plotting is masterful, and her humor is razor-edged, sexy, and raucous' WASHINGTON POST
'Vividly written, acutely observed and very possibly the most intelligently tongue-in-cheek novel of the year' SALMON RUSHDIE
'An absorbing, high-speed read, the prose burnished with the author's characteristic verve, wit and insight' INDEPENDENT
