The Year of the Flood

January 27, 2010

Atwood, Margaret. The Year of the Flood. This woman is always brilliant. I just love her work. I really want to reread Oryx and Crake now, though. To see how the two books fit together. Her insights and imagination and feminism are all thrilling in this novel. I wanted more from the ending, though. Some sense of closure, whether it was one of hope or doom.
