Part detective novel, part psychological thriller, Surfacing is the story of a talented woman artist who, with the help of her husband and a friend couple, goes in search of her missing father on a remote island in northern Quebec . . .
A novel unique in modern literature for its mythic exploration of one woman’s spiritual pilgrimage, Surfacing is a work permeated with an aura of suspense, complex with layered meanings, and written in brilliant, diamond-sharp prose.
“Atwood’s powers of observation are disconcertingly acute, combining an ear for the vernacular with an eye for the jugular.” -- Time
