The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood

The Brooker Prize-winning sensation from the incomparable Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin combines Gothic drama, romantic Suspense, and a science fiction yarn in an entrancing novel of uncommon intricacy and grace.
   As Iris Chase Griffen, the sole surviving descendant of a once-distinguished Toronto family, recalls the events of her life and the pivotal death of her sister Laura in 1945, we simultaneously read Laura's posthumously published novel, The Blind Assassin. In that novel within a novel--a tale of two lovers on the lam--there is yet another narrative: a science fiction fantasy, in which a blind assassin and a mute sacrificial virgin share a journey of their own. Brilliantly weaving together such seemingly desperate elements, Atwood creates a world of astonishing vision and unforgettable images.
