Bodily Harm
by Margaret Atwood
In Bodily Harm, Margaret Atwood’s 1981 novel, a lifestyle journalists gets caught up in a violent insurrection on a tiny Caribbean island—and a love affair with an attractive but mysterious American. It is, warns a New York Times review, “unpleasant. It chooses to be so.” Atwood’s writing is often lyrical, but Bodily Harm is an often brutal thriller—so consider yourself warned.
