Description
In Margaret Atwood's debut novel, a young woman's meticulously ordered, consumer-driven life begins to unravel after her engagement. As Marian's sense of self becomes increasingly detached from her physical being, she develops a disturbing aversion to food, perceiving it as a form of cannibalism. This powerful exploration of societal expectations and gender roles delves into the psychological impact of conformity and the struggle for identity in a world that seeks to define us.
