   Caribbean (11) Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. This is an odd mix of nostalgic remembrance and present peril during a nation's revolution. Rennie is a fairly passive protagonist and not easy to root for. Definitely not my favorite Atwood. (  ) DrFuriosa | Dec 4, 2020 |  I could not relate to the characters in this book at all. Perhaps it is just too dated.... ( ) francesanngray | Mar 21, 2020 | Rennie is a young journalist who has found her life coming to pieces. Surviving breast cancer has left her struggling with her life and her sadomasochistic relationship with Jake has come to an end. Rennie decides to run away from life temporarily and takes a travel piece on a small caribbean island. However Rennie arrives at the island in the middle of an election and unrest and finds herself mixed into things that she has no business being mixed in. This novel is all about power and as with any Atwood book I came away with more unanswered questions than I did answers. ChelleBearss | Mar 9, 2018 | I struggled to finish this book, and its not very long. I think my problem was is that I did not like the main character Rennie. On a positive note, I did like how Atwood explored how being unmoored effected all the decisions Rennie made; it seemed very realistic. ( ) Boohradley | Jan 12, 2018 | Having heard about Margaret Atwood for many years, I finally decided to try one. It was . . . interesting. And disconcerting. But I'm pretty sure I'll read more of her stuff. (  ) dickmanikowski | Sep 18, 2017 |
Summary A powerfully and brilliantly crafted novel, "Bodily Harm is the story of Rennie Wilford, a young journalist whose life has begun to shatter around the edges. Rennie flies to the Caribbean to recuperate, and on the tiny island of St. Antoine she is confronted by a world where her rules for survival no longer apply. By turns comic, satiric, relentless, and terrifying, Margaret Atwood's "Bodily Harm is ultimately an exploration of the lust for power, both sexual and political, and the need for compassion that goes beyond what we ordinarily mean by love.
Rennie Wilford, a young jounalist running from her life, takes an assignment to a Caribbean island and tumbles into a world where no one is what they seem. When the burnt-out Yankee Paul (does he smuggle dope or hustle for the CIA?) offers her a no-hooks, no strings affair, she is caught up in a lethal web of corruption. No library descriptions found. |
