Reviews for Cats Eye
I read this when I was about sixteen and remember its menace. It is about the potential toxicity in female friendships, which is a contentious issue. Atwood is never pigeonholed, she's wry and has a poet's eye
Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist I read this when I was about sixteen and remember its menace. It is about the potential toxicity in female friendships, which is a contentious issue. Atwood is never pigeonholed, she's wry and has a poet's eye
Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist Not since Graham Greene or William Golding has a novelist captured so forcefully the relationship between school bully and victim...Atwood's power games are played, exquisitely, by little girls
LISTENER
Irrestistible...This book is about life for all of us. She is one of our finest novelists. Read it
THE TIMES
Atwood's taut and exquisite use of language makes all her books irresistable...
