Ever since her engagement, the strangest thing has been happening to Marian McAlpin: she can't eat. First meat. Then eggs, vegetables, cake, pumpkin seeds - everything! Worse yet, she has the crazy feeling that she's being eaten. Marian ought to feel consumed with passion, but she really just feels . . . consumed. A brilliant and powerful work rich in irony and metaphor, The Edible Woman is an unforgettable masterpiece by a true master of contemporary literary fiction.


This is Atwood's first published novel. While not her best, it is still a well written, wryly amusing 'anti-romance'. It's different, and rather odd in places with respect to some of the characters and their (somewhat unexplained) actions. Set firmly in the sixties it outlines pretty well society's attitudes to women and their 'place'.
