Moral Disorder

About this book

Margaret Atwood's latest brilliant collection of short stories follows the life of a single character - as a girl, as a young woman in the 50's and 60's, and, in the present day, as half of a couple, no longer young, reflecting on the state of the world. We witness a woman's complex love for a married man, her grief upon the death of parents and joy at the birth of children, the realization of what growing old with someone she loves really means. By turns funny, lyrical, incisive, earthy, shocking, and deeply personal, Morar Disorder displays Atwood's celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage.
