Margaret Atwood

Moral Disorder and Other Stories (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale This brilliant collection of connected short stories strings together several decades of moments in the life of one woman-as an ambitious girl in the 1930s, as a young professional coming of age in the uncertain '50s and '60s, and as half of a couple growing old together. In a series of vividly evoked settings that span cities, backwoods, and farm country, we see this woman contending over time with an unstable sister, a married lover, aging parents, mystifying stepchildren, vulnerable farm animals, and her own changing self. By turns funny, lyrical, earthy, shocking, and deeply personal, Moral Disorder displays Margaret Atwood's celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage.
