A breathtaking novel of a woman grappling with the tangled knot of her life—from the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments

Disturbing, humorous, and compassionate, Cat’s Eye is the story of Elaine Risley, a controversial painter who returns to Toronto, the city of her youth, for a retrospective of her art. Engulfed by vivid images of the past, she reminisces about a trio of girls who initiated her into the the fierce politics of childhood and its secret world of friendship, longing, and betrayal. Elaine must come to terms with her own identity as a daughter, a lover, an artist, and a woman—but above all she must seek release form her haunting memories.

Reseñas editoriales

The modern battle against bullying is hard to miss: From anti-cyberbulling PSAs to state laws that target bullies, parents and administrators are more involved than ever in helping kids fight back. But in 1989 when Margaret Atwood published Cat's Eye, books that dived so deeply into the world of girl-on-girl bullying were few and far between. Narrator Kimberly Farr turns the story into a haunting tale of the lifelong consequences that can follow you from childhood - made all the more chilling from a modern point of view.

The story is told from the perspective of Elaine Risley, a Canadian painter who returns to her hometown for a show of her work. The activities surrounding the show frame her slowly returning memories of her childhood, and the three girls she used to pal around with. Now, we’d call these girls frenemies. Led by a girl named Cordelia, the trio teases, taunts, and hazes young Elaine even as she tries to stay on their good side. By high school, Elaine has broken away from the group, but the emotional affects of the friendships follow her through art school, adulthood, and into her romantic relationships.

Farr takes the character of Elaine from elementary school-age outcast to resigned adult, weaving in distinct voices for other characters - Elaine's adult friends, her lovers, her family - as Elaine tries to move past the memories of Cordelia. As a girl making a faux pas at another family's Sunday Dinner, as a teen who jokes with her brother while they're drying the dishes, as an art student sleeping with the teacher, and as a middle-aged painter reflecting on her life, Farr gives the story personality, charm, and the right mix of nostalgia and fuzzy memories. Elaine's straightforward, accepting description of the way her friends treated her will draw up your own memories of facing down the mean girls at your school - and remind you how far you've come. --Blythe Copeland

1989, Booker Prize, Nominated

"Stunning...Atwood conceives Elaine with a poet's transforming fire; and delivers her to us that way, a flame inside an icicle." (Los Angeles Times)

"Nightmarish, evocative, heartbreaking." (The New York Times Book Review)

The narrator was fine except for her changing her voice quite unsuccessfully for different characters. It was eye rolling and really took away from the story.

Childish narration

One of the best studies of where melancholy aloofness is born. The eternal simmering of childhood injustices tempered by quiet self sufficiency is where the broad and weary weariness is born. Knowing all that you know, can you trust others, can you forgive them. Can you grow to cherish them. Can you tell them this?

Great book for those with memories

Vintage Margaret Atwood. I'm nearing this juncture in my own life, so the "thinkback" motif hit very close to home. Performance a little tight.

Like all of her other books it has a great storyline however it is much less... eventful.

Less Dramatic

This was a sad story for me and it didn't resolve in the end. For me it was very unsatisfying.

One of my favorite all time fictional works. I read this first in a college lit class and I've read it once a year ever since. The story is hauntingly beautiful and has resonated with me at every age (I am now 44). Elaine's journey of self-exploration and her ability to finally understand and shed her childhood is both heartfelt and compelling. When I found it in audio, I was irrationally excited! Unfortunately, my favorite audio rendition has been discontinued. Kim Farr's version does not do the book justice. The best audio version is by Barbara Caruso and can only be found on Learn-Out-Loud. I'd pay Audible any price to own the Barbara Caruso version. Do yourself a favorite and read it the first time and then explore the audio options.

Great book, but....

Once again, this author writes prose that compares to none, as she lives a life’s journey of vulnerability and awe. It is a remarkable life artfully described.

One of her best, up there with Hag Seed, Blind Assassin, and The Robber Bride. Would be an awesome movie

So different to me than some of her others, but maybe my favorite of all

I LOVED this book

I have never listened to such an amazing book. I am astounded by how intricate, yet cynical Elaine is. How the narrator encapsulates the essence of her as she grows, it’s perfect. It’s beautiful.
