A proposito di questo titolo

BY THE BESTSELLING, PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE HANDMAID'S TALE

'Atwood has never written better than in this novel of glittering breadth and dark, eerie depths' SUNDAY TIMES

'As smart as anything Atwood has written, and she is always smart' NEW YORK TIMES

Zenia is beautiful, smart and greedy, by turns manipulative and vulnerable, needy and ruthless, a man's dream and a woman's nightmare. She is also dead. Just to make sure, Tony, Roz and Charis, who first met and suffered her as university students in the sixties, are there for the funeral. But five years on, as the three women share an indulgent, sisterly lunch, the unthinkable happens; Zenia is back.

Recensioni della critica

Margaret Atwood's new novel is a fairy tale of malicious simplicity . . . Vividly written, acutely observed and very likely the most intelligently tongue in cheek novel of the year (Salman Rushdie)
It stirs depths that CAT'S EYE did not reach, and grants deeper, stronger powers to women's friendship in distress (Marina Warner)
The Robber Bride is an absorbing, high-speed read, the prose burnished with the author's characteristic verve, wit and insight
Excitements, wit and insight sizzle across the pages. Atwood's survey of impulses that bedevil life seethes with imagination, inventiveness and intelligence. Even she has never written better than in this novel of glittering breadth and dark, eerie depths
Funny, thoughtful, moving . . . Atwood's plotting is masterful, and her humor is razor-edged, sexy, and raucous
The Robber Bride is as smart as anything Ms. Atwood has written, and she is always smart . . . Margaret Atwood's funniest and most companionable book in years . . . she retains her gift for observing, in poetry, the minutiae specific to the physical and emotional lives of her characters
The virtuosity with which Margaret Atwood's prose moves between rage and wit, poignancy and suspense, fantasy and realism makes The Robber Bride a stimulating read
Marvellously enjoyable as well as moving and highly intelligent . . . My favourite example of [Atwood's] boldness and imagination (Kit Whitfield)
Margaret Atwood continues her long-running roll, offering us the good fortune of yet another disturbing and brilliantly conceived work of fiction
A remarkable achievement, constantly entertaining and intriguing
Nobody maps female psychic territory the way Margaret Atwood does . . . Atwood is in her glory. What a treasure she is
Deserves every superlative we can muster from hilarious to wise . . . A genuine tour de force, witty and original, suspenseful and sagacious
A hugely enjoyable novel
Imaginative and suspenseful . . . a virtuoso performance
Brilliant and entertaining
Grabs the funny bone, the brain, and sometimes the throat
Startling, provocative and rewarding
Compelling and astonishingly rich
