Usually I'm apprehensive to anything that remotely resembles "chick lit", but as I soon learned, Margaret Atwood is something completely different. I have already read "The Handmaid's Tale", which I thought was brilliant - another reason why I chose to check out more stuff by Ms. Atwood.

This is a very ruminative story in a Mad Men-esque setting about how women are consumed by men back in the day (very much a product of its time).

I personally enjoyed the Toronto setting, even though the name of the city is never mentioned.
