Publisher's summary

Marian is determined to be ordinary. She lays her head gently on the shoulder of her serious fiancé and quietly awaits marriage. But she didn't count on an inner rebellion that would rock her stable routine and her digestion. Marriage a la mode, Marian discovers, is something she literally can't stomach....

The Edible Woman is a funny, engaging novel about emotional cannibalism, men and women, and desire to be consumed.

©1980 Margaret Atwood (P)2014 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Spectacular

I’ve read this book a number of times at various points of my life (first in my late teens) and have loved it every time (it is clever both in wit and in subtext). This may have been my favourite reread. I recommend it highly! (I have a theory about an aspect of the narrative that I would love to have verified or denied but likely never will - this is why I include Atwood in my hypothetical dinner guest list. I’d love to ask her)

The reader was good in most ways but had a tendency to mispronounce words in a way that was very distracting at times.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
