Bought in a 2nd hand book shop, Paul Street, Cork.

I have been trying to get a hold of more of Atwood's books, as I really enjoyed The Blind Assassin, The Handmaid's Tale and The Edible Woman. This one did not grab me as much, it is very dark in comparison to some of her others. X returns to her childhood home in a remote area of Canada after receiving notice that her father has gone missing. She goes with her boyfriend and 2 other friends. She hasn't had much contact with her family since she's left, and also she has left behind a husband and a child. A tough book at times, but a voyage of discovery for her unnamed main character.
