The Blind Assassin
by Margaret Atwood
🏆 Winner of the 2000 Booker Prize
A brilliantly clever historical novel featuring two wealthy sisters from a fictional Ontario town, featuring a novel-within-a-novel-within-a-novel—or something like it. To enjoy it, one must allow the action to unfurl in all directions—back and forth in time, and refracted through the characters’ metafictional counterparts—and simply trust that it will all come together in the end.
