Слепой убийца

For more than a quarter of a century, the outstanding Canadian writer Margaret Atwood (b. 1939) has been creating works of amazing originality and depth, repeatedly awarded with prestigious literary awards.

The Blind Assassin, which won the Booker Prize in 2000, is not one novel, but several that Margaret Atwood put into each other - like a nesting doll. And the more the plot unfolds, the more outlandish elements appear.

The story of two sisters, Iris and Laura, seems simple only at first glance. The writer does not betray herself and with amazing skill talks about people who have something to hide. Before us is not an ordinary novel about the destinies of women of the 20th century, connected by an invisible thread, but life itself - with its squabbles, problems and miracles.
