Description
From the international bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale, Dancing Girls and Other Stories showcases Margaret Atwood's masterly skill for storytelling.
Students, journalists, farmers, birdwatchers, ex-wives, adolescent lovers – and dancing girls. All ordinary people.
Or are they?
In brilliant flashes of fantasy, humour, and unexpected violence, Margaret Atwood reveals the complexities of human relationships and maps the motivations we scarcely know we have within us. Populated with characters who evoke laughter, compassion, terror, and recognition, Atwood's stories show why she remains one of our greatest, most original storytellers.
'A remarkable collection' Sunday Times
