Description

Rennie Wilford, a Toronto lifestyle journalist, finds her carefully curated world unraveling when her boyfriend leaves and her own body begins to betray her. Seeking escape, she accepts an assignment to a Caribbean island, only to discover a new kind of danger lurking beneath the tropical paradise. As political unrest escalates, Rennie is forced to confront not only external threats but also the deep-seated betrayals that have shaped her life. Atwood masterfully explores themes of female vulnerability, societal expectations, and the struggle for survival in a world where appearances are deceiving.
