“Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge . . .”
Told by protagonist Iris Chase Griffen, The Blind Assassin has the sweep of an epic and the intimate focus of a family drama. By turns lyrical, outrageous, compelling, and funny, this entrancing novel is at once infused with deep humour and undercurrents of darkness.
Full of intrigue and desperation, The Blind Assassin is Margaret Atwood at her breathtaking best, and confirms her status as one of the world's pre-eminent novelists.
