I could not put this book down! What a great writer Margaret Atwood is!
"Hatred would have been easier. With hatred, I would have known what to do. Hatred is clear, metallic, one-handed, unwavering; unlike love."
"I suppose I wanted to bring her back to life. I suppose I wanted her timeless, though there is no such thing on earth. These pictures of her like everything else are drenched in time."
"Love blurs your vision; but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. It's like the tide going out, revealing whatever's been thrown away and sunk: broken bottles, old gloves, rusting pop cans, nibbled fish bodies, bones. This is the kind of thing you see if you sit in the darkness with open eyes, not knowing the future."

I haven't read this one but loved her Oryx and Crake trilogy so much. I'll have to put this on my radar for 2020. Thanks for your review!

This book has been patiently waiting its turn. 2020 will be the year! Glad you loved it, Jeannie.
