Summary
Interconnected short stories that span the life of a skeptical, stoic, book-loving woman named Nell, from age 11, where she awaits the birth of an unexpected sibling, to her eventual marriage and life on a farm. Atwood dissects the demands… of family, the persistence of sexism, the siege of old age, and the complex temperaments of other species. Some strong language and descriptions of violence. 2006.
