Bodily Harm

Margaret Atwood's deeply unsettling psychological novel portrays the disorientation of Rennie Wilford, a young Canadian journalist who suffers a nervous breakdown and travels to the tiny Caribbean island of St. Antoine to recuperate. There, in a world that is as foreign to her as outer space, she begins to wonder if the cure is not worse than the disease. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
