Margaret Atwood
The Blind Assassin
'Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off
a bridge.' Thus begins this novel. Laura Chase's older sister
Iris, married at eighteen to a politically prominent industrialist
but now poor and eighty-two, is living in Port Ticonderoga, a
town dominated by their once prosperous family before the First
War. While coping with her unreliable body, Iris reflects on her
far from exemplary life, in particular the events surrounding
her sister's tragic death.

The Shape Of Snakes
November 1978. The winter of discontent. Britain is on strike. The
dead lie unburied, rubbish piles in the streets - and somewhere
in West London a black woman dies in a gutter. She was known as
'Mad Annie' and was despised by her neighbours. Her passing would
have gone unnoticed but for the younf woman who finds her and who
believes - apparently against reason - that she was murdered. |

Beyond The Shining Water
In 19th century Liverpool, Lily Elliott is not so much spoilt
as loved - petted and indulged by her adored Ma and pa, dreaming
of the day when she will be the captain of Pa's ship, the Lily-Jane
of Liverpool. Until the day when the news comes that Richard Elliott
is dead. As her mother sinks into a dream world and the money
that had always seemed sufficient turns out to have been mostly
debts, Lily watches, bewildered, as her safe, happy world comes
apart...
