A clever and addictive thriller from the bestselling author of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments.
A powerful and brilliantly crafted new novel from the author of Surfacing, Life Before Man, The Edible Woman, and Lady Oracle. Bodily Harm is the story of Rennie Wilford, a young journalist whose life has begun to shatter around the edges. Rennie Wilford flies to the Caribbean to recuperate, and on the tiny island of St. Antoine, she is confronted by a world where her rules for survival no longer apply. By turns comic, satiric, relentless, and terrifying, Margaret Atwood's new novel is ultimately an exploration of the lust for power both sexual and political, and the need for compassion that goes beyond what we ordinarily mean by love.
[Tour à tour comique, satirique, implacable et terrifiant, le nouveau roman de Margaret Atwood est finalement une exploration de la soif de pouvoir à la fois sexuel et politique, et du besoin de compassion qui va au-delà de ce que nous entendons habituellement par amour.]
« As swift-moving as the best thriller, clipped and laconic, yet deeply and richly sensitive. » Sunday Telegraph
« One of the most richly entertaining novels I've read for years. » Guardian
« A beautifully written, witty and often poignant account of a brave woman's attempt to come to terms with her situation and recover her spirits. » Nina Bawden, 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. » Peter Kemp, 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
« Atwood's 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
