pickHow have I only just found this book!?! Atwood at her best yet again, the story telling is so powerful! Details perfectly how events from childhood can shape the rest of your life. Even if you never realised it. Love love love!! #maragretatwood #catseye
pickI absolutely adored this book. It is very much unlike Handmaid‘s Tale or Alias Grace in tone and feel, but it was wonderful!!! I don‘t know what I was expecting before I started. I knew nothing about this book, just that I liked Margaret Atwood‘s writing and this was available from the library right now. I‘m glad I took this little adventure. So much of this felt real and genuine to me. So much of this could be me, if I were a painter and older.
I used to date a guy who repeatedly said, “All women are crazy and all men are stupid.” When I was angry because of his misogynistic, “I‘m a man and I can do what I want” despite what anyone else may need or want attitude, it was because I was crazy, because I was a woman. For him, it certainly had nothing to do with him. He reminds me of John a little bit. He was sweet before the relationship was defined as such, then he became an ass hole.
Too true!!! lol
