I was recently looking for a Margaret Atwood book that was small and
easily digestible, as sometimes my attention span does not allow me to
read full tales spun in world’s outside my own. Although I love her
perspective, the only other Atwood book I successfully completed was
Good Bones and Simple Murders,
which was another book of short stories and poems. This one was similar
to that because every chapter packed a punch. This book was slightly
different because there were a couple more chapters where you could read
about her reflections on her time as a writer, and her wrestling with
the expectations put upon her. My favorite chapter in this collection
was Orphan Stories. I felt like it understood me we well as a millennial
maybe, or perhaps as a misfit. I would recommend this book to many bold
and brave women in my life.
