Description
These wise and witty writings focus on a diverse array of topics such as Shakespeare, tree stumps, ecological disasters, bodies (both male and female), and theology, amongst other matters.
We hear Gertrude's version of what really happened in Hamlet; an ugly sister and a wicked stepmother put in a good word for themselves, and a reincarnated bat explains how Bram Stoker got Dracula hopelessly wrong.
Good Bones is pure distilled Atwood—deliciously strong and bittersweet.
