I really find Margaret Atwood to be an phenomenal writer when it comes to the way she builds scenes and the details she includes, but I think for this story in particular, it didn’t stick the landing for me. We had some building of the world, but for the most part, it remained an unsolved mystery. I didn’t even realize I was nearing the end of the book because I was listening to it and then all of a sudden it’s just over just as I was feeling like we were finally getting to the climax of a story where we would discover something and we just didn’t. This was probably intentional, but I don’t know if it worked for me.
