<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In these ten interrelated stories, Atwood traces the course of a life and also the lives intertwined with it. By turns funny, tragic, earthy, and deeply personal, "Moral Disorder" displays Atwoods celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>From the #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i></b> <p/>This brilliant collection of connected short stories strings together several decades of moments in the life of one woman--as an ambitious girl in the 1930s, as a young professional coming of age in the uncertain '50s and '60s, and as half of a couple growing old together. In a series of vividly evoked settings that span cities, backwoods, and farm country, we see this woman contending over time with an unstable sister, a married lover, aging parents, mystifying stepchildren, vulnerable farm animals, and her own changing self. By turns funny, lyrical, earthy, shocking, and deeply personal, <i>Moral Disorder</i> displays Margaret Atwood's celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage. <p/></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Sharply focused, intensely personal. . . . <i>Moral Disorder</i> is domestic realism at its most convincing. . . . These are poignant stories crammed with richly nostalgic detail, rueful, wise, elegiac." --Joyce Carol Oates, <i>The New York Review of Books <p/></i>"Elegant. . . . In <i>Moral Disorder</i>, Atwood travels deep into the expanse of memories and language built up over her writing lifetime and offers a handful of gems to illuminate our times." --<i>The Los Angeles Times Book Review <p/></i>"Poignant. . . . Wry. . . . The tremendous imaginative power of [Atwood's] fiction allows us to believe that anything is possible." --<i>New York Times Book Review <p/></i>"Searingly intelligent. . . .
