I'm catching up with this one of Atwood's novels, and read the posted comments here with much curiosity. My take on the book agrees with several readers who found it slow moving and peopled with often unappealing characters. Much rich detail is engrossing, however. A virtuoso scene of hypnotism occurs near the end--worth waiting for. How will this book be made into a movie? Many possibilities. My favorite of her books remains Blind Assassin.
