Book Description
================
An intriguing patchwork of poignant episodes, Atwood's latest set of 
stories (after The Tent) chronicles 60 years of a Canadian family, from 
postwar Toronto to a farm in the present. The opening piece of this 
novel-in-stories is set in the present and introduces Tig and Nell, 
married, elderly and facing an uncertain future in a world that has 
become foreign and hostile. From there, the book casts back to an 11-year-old 
Nell excitedly knitting garments for her as yet unborn sister, Lizzie, 
and continues to trace her adolescence and young adulthood; Nell rebels 
against the stern conventions of her mother's Toronto household, only 
to rush back home at 28 to help her family deal with Lizzie's schizophrenia. 
After carving out a "medium-sized niche" as a freelance book editor, 
Nell meets Oona, a writer, who is bored with her marriage to Tig. Oona 
has been searching for someone to fill "the position of second wife," 
and she introduces Nell to Tig. Later in life, Nell takes care of her 
once vital but now ravaged-by-age parents. Though the episodic approach 
has its disjointed moments, Atwood provides a memorable mosaic of domestic 
pain and the surface tension of a troubled family.
