The blind assassin

The blind assassin

Margaret Atwood
Book - 2000

In The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood weaves together strands of gothic suspense, romance, and science fiction into one utterly spellbinding narrative. The novel begins with the mysterious death<U+2014>a possible suicide<U+2014>of a young woman named Laura Chase in 1945. Decades later, Laura<U+2019>s sister Iris recounts her memories of their childhood, and of the dramatic deaths that have punctuated their wealthy, eccentric family<U+2019>s history. Intertwined with Iris<U+2019>s account are chapters from the scandalous novel that made Laura famous, in which two illicit lovers amuse each other by spinning a tale of a blind killer on a distant planet. These richly layered stories-within-stories gradually illuminate the secrets that have long haunted the Chase family, coming together in a brilliant and astonishing final twist.
