Surfacing
by Margaret Atwood
In Margaret Atwood’s second novel, an unnamed woman returns to the remote Canadian island where she grew up. Piecing together clues found in the contents of the family cabin, she sets off in search of her missing father. It as much a portrait of a complicated woman and Silent Revolution-era Quebec as it is a mystery. Published in 1972 and adapted as a film of the same name in 1981.
