Short Stories. HTML:<b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER&#160;•&#160;From the bestselling, award-winning author of <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i> and <i>The Testaments</i>, a dazzling collection of short stories that look deeply into the heart of family relationships, marriage, loss and memory, and what it means to spend a life together<br /> "If you consider yourself an Atwood fan and have only read her novels: Get your act together. You’ve been missing out.” —<i>The New York Times Book Review,</i> Rebecca Makkai,&#160;best-selling author of <i>The Great Believers</i></b><br /> Margaret Atwood has established herself as one of the most visionary and canonical authors in the world. This collection of fifteen extraordinary stories—some of which have appeared in <i>The New Yorker</i> and <i>The New York Times Magazine</i>—explore the full warp and weft of experience, speaking to our unique times with Atwood’s characteristic insight, wit and intellect.&#160;<br /> The two intrepid sisters of the title story grapple with loss and memory on a perfect summer evening; “Impatient Griselda” explores alienation and miscommunication with a fresh twist on a folkloric classic; and “My Evil Mother” touches on the fantastical, examining a mother-daughter relationship in which the mother purports to be a witch.&#160;At the heart of the collection are seven extraordinary stories that follow a married couple across the decades, the moments big and small that make up a long life of uncommon love—and what comes after.<br /> Returning to short fiction for the first time since her 2014 collection <i>Stone Mattress,</i> Atwood showcases both her creativity and her humanity in these remarkable tales which by turns delight, illuminate, and quietly devastate.
