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. Chief among these was the publication of The Blind Assassin, a novel which earned the dead Laura Chase not only notoriety but also a devoted cult following. Sexually explicit for its time, The Blind Assassin describes a risky affair in the turbulent thirties between a wealthy young woman and a man on the run. During their secret meetings in rented rooms, the lovers concoct a pulp fantasy set on Planet Zycron. As the invented story twists through love and sacrifice and betrayal, so does the real one; while events in both move closer to war and catastrophe. By turns lyrical, outrageous, formidable, compelling and funny, this is a novel filled with deep humour and dark drama.

A fascinatingly complex tale of two young Canadian women and the greed, power and perversion of those around them, The Blind Assassin earned author Margaret Atwood a Booker Prize in 2000. A tale of tragedy that offers a sharp and compelling social commentary, this work of fiction is very much representative of Atwood?s intelligent and absorbing style. Full of plot twists that lead the reader to their own conclusions, these two interlinked narratives come together to form an award-winning novel.
