Bodily Harm
Bodily Harm
Author: Margaret Atwood
Desc: 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.
