Primera novedad de ficción de Atwood desde Los testamentos.
Quince relatos profundamente personales e impregnados de una gran humanidad que nos iluminan con la perspicacia, el ingenio, la audacia y el humor que caracterizan a la emblemática autora de El cuento de la criada. Incluyen una asombrosa secuencia de siete cuentos que sigue a una pareja casada mientras recorren juntos el camino, los momentos grandes y pequeños que conforman una larga vida de amor... y lo que viene después. Encontramos a dos hermanas que evocan el pasado, pero también a gatos, un caracol perdido, a Martha Gellhorn, a George Orwell, a la filósofa y astrónoma Hipatia de AlejandrÃa, a una cábala de viejos académicos, a un extraterrestre y a una hija que intenta comprender si su madre es realmente una bruja. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the bestselling, award-winning author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments, a dazzling collection of short stories that look deeply into the heart of family relationships, marriage, loss and memory, and what it means to spend a life together

If you consider yourself an Atwood fan and have only read her novels: Get your act together. You've been missing out. --The New York Times Book Review, Rebecca Makkai, best-selling author of The Great Believers Margaret Atwood has established herself as one of the most visionary and canonical authors in the world. This collection of fifteen extraordinary stories--some of which have appeared in The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine--explore the full warp and weft of experience, speaking to our unique times with Atwood's characteristic insight, wit and intellect. The two intrepid sisters of the title story grapple with loss and memory on a perfect summer evening; Impatient Griselda explores alienation and miscommunication with a fresh twist on a folkloric classic; and My Evil Mother touches on the fantastical, examining a mother-daughter relationship in which the mother purports to be a witch. At the heart of the collection are seven extraordinary stories that follow a married couple across the decades, the moments big and small that make up a long life of uncommon love--and what comes after. Returning to short fiction for the first time since her 2014 collection Stone Mattress, Atwood showcases both her creativity and her humanity in these remarkable tales which by turns delight, illuminate, and quietly devastate.
