Blind Assassin

Margaret Atwood

Even now, at the age of 82, Iris lives in the shadow cast by her younger sister Laura. Now poor and trying to cope with a failing body, Iris reflects on her far from exemplary life, in particular the events surrounding her sister's tragic death and the novel which earned her such notoriety.

What a gem! This is Atwood at her undisputed best. The story is compelling, the observation acute, the format original and I just loved it.
