Description

As Iris Chase Griffen, the sole surviving descendant of a once-distinguished Toronto family, recalls the events of her life and the pivotal death of her sister Laura in 1945, we simultaneously read Laura’s posthumously published novel, The Blind Assassin. In that novel within a novel – the tale of two lovers on the lam – there is yet another narrative: a science virgin share a journey of their own. Brilliantly weaving together such seemingly disparate elements, Atwood creates a world of astonishing vision and unforgettable impact.
