Review One of the most richly entertaining novels Ive read for years * Guardian *A beautifully written, witty and often poignant account of a brave womans attempt to come to terms with her situation and recover her spirits * Daily Telegraph *What makes her book so considerable an achievement is the mature, informed accuracy of its view of life. What makes it so exhilarating is the profusion of tough wit and precise poetry that everywhere transforms its black bulletins from documentary into art * Times Literary Supplement *The only way to describe my response to Bodily Harm is to say that it knocked me out... She tosses off perfect scenes with a casualness that leaves you utterly inprepared for the way these stories seize you * New York Times *Atwoods vivid prose, tough wit and acute insight turn a scenario that would suit a beach-read thriller into a complex and compelling novel * Sunday Times * Review Text One of the most richly entertaining novels Ive read for years Review Quote One of the most richly entertaining novels Ive read for years Promotional "Headline" FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HANDMAIDS TALE Details ISBN1784877654 Author Margaret Atwood Publisher Vintage Publishing ISBN-10 1784877654 ISBN-13 9781784877651 Format Paperback Imprint Vintage Classics Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2023-02-23 NZ Release Date 2023-02-23 Year 2023 Publication Date 2023-02-23 UK Release Date 2023-02-23 Pages 320 DEWEY 813.54 Audience General Alternative 9781446470749 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
