Moral Disorder
And Other Stories
by Margaret Atwood
Review this book!
Eleven linked stories tell a woman's life story in MORAL DISORDER, a beguiling collection by the savagely talented Margaret Atwood. In stories ranging from childhood in the 1930s until old age in the 21st century, Atwood traces the minor tragedies and subtle hurt of a world filled with unexpected demands and unsatisfied desires. The times and settings shift, but Atwood's deep understanding of the beauty, humor, and flaws of the human animal is consistent.
