I've only read science fiction by Margaret Atwood before, so I'm looking forward to reading this different genre by this great writer. Picked up from the meetup today.

RELEASE NOTES:

Level 4.

Reading this and it all started to seem slightly familiar. Turns out I read this book a very long time ago. Rereading it was a pleasure because I really couldn't remember the plot. It definitely has a feel about it of the many books I read during the 1980's about women and the relationships between friends.
