by Margaret Atwood
Quickie Recap: The stories are all about the same woman, from different periods in her life, and told from different perspectives.
Quickie Review: It's Atwood, so of course it's good. I found it fairly straight-forward, with moments of bitterness and sweetness both. When I first dove in, I was in love. It was easy to get into, but because the stories are related, it almost reads like a novel, a novel which in the end lacks that final punch. It left me wanting to know more about the other relationships that get woven into the stories. I wanted a bit of closure.
Quickie Recommendation: I don't consider it her best, but I'm sure even her worst is far above much of the tripe they sell in Chapters.

Quick! Where's the Like button?
I read all of your reviews, but I typically don't comment on them. I wondered, though, where do you find out about books you review here? Where do you get the ones you read? Maybe you could do a post covering that.
Good stuff, Mark. I think I may have to think about that myself!
