The Blind Assassin: A Novel, Cover may vary

From the #1Â New York TimesÂ bestselling author ofÂ The Handmaid's Tale

WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE

In The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood weaves together strands of gothic suspense, romance, and science fiction into one utterly spellbinding narrative. The novel begins with the mysterious deathâ€”a possible suicideâ€”of a young woman named Laura Chase in 1945. Decades later, Lauraâ€™s sister Iris recounts her memories of their childhood, and of the dramatic deaths that have punctuated their wealthy, eccentric familyâ€™s history. Intertwined with Irisâ€™s account are chapters from the scandalous novel that made Laura famous, in which two illicit lovers amuse each other by spinning a tale of a blind killer on a distant planet. These richly layered stories-within-stories gradually illuminate the secrets that have long haunted the Chase family, coming together in a brilliant and astonishing final twist.
