The Year of the Flood
Atwood’s latest novel, ‘The Year of the Flood‘, is a masterpiece: potent without being preachy, it contains a tight, interesting narrative that switches between characters without confusion.
Hardcore fans of Atwood’s first novel in the trilogy, ‘Oryx and Crake’ will be richly rewarded by numerous in-jokes and self-references. The book’s message is also frighteningly timely. Canada’s preeminent authoress has gracefully recovered from the doorjam waste-of-time that was ‘The Blind Assassin.’
