Bluebeard’s Egg and Other Stories
From the international bestselling author of The Handmaid’s Tale, Bluebeard’s Egg and Other Stories represents some of Margaret Atwood’s most witty, wise short stories
A man finds himself surrounded by women who are becoming paler, more silent and literally smaller; a woman’s intimate life is strangely dominated by the fear of nuclear warfare; a melancholy teenage love is swept away by a hurricane, while a tired, middle-aged affection is rekindled by the spectacle of rare Jamaican birds…
In these exceptional short stories, by turns funny and searingly honest, Margaret Atwood captures brilliantly the complex forces that govern our relationships, and the powerful emotions that guide them.
