Carrie, ever read Margaret Atwood? Great Canadian writer
The handmaid's tale = George's Orwell 1984 in feministic view - great!
Alias Grace = In 1843, a 16-year-old Canadian housemaid named Grace Marks was tried for the murder of her employer and his mistress, Atwood rewrote what happened out of her opinion
Cat's eye = Elaine's visit triggers thoughts of her childhood with all the urgency of a bad rash. Dominating her reflections are her childhood "friends", three girls who wreak havoc on Elaine's self-esteem
the Robber Bride = Zenia is beautiful, smart and greedy, by turns manipulative and vulnerable, needy and ruthless; a man's dream and a woman's nightmare.
The last 2 ones are about destructive relations between females, children in the Cat's eye - adults in the Robber Bride.
How could I forget her???
