The Robber Bride

The Robber Bride

From the #1 New York TimesÂ bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale

One of Margaret Atwoodâ‚¬s most unforgettable characters lurks at the center of this intricate novel like a spider in a web.Â The glamorous, irresistible, unscrupulous Zenia is nothing less than a fairy-tale villain in the memories of her former friends. Roz, Charis, and Tonyâ‚¬"university classmates decades agoâ‚¬"were reunited at Zeniaâ‚¬s funeral and have met monthly for lunch ever since, obsessively retracing the destructive swath she once cut through their lives. A brilliantly inventive fabulist, Zenia had a talent for exploiting her friendsâ‚¬ weaknesses, wielding intimacy as a weapon and cheating them of money, time, sympathy, and men. But one day, five years after her funeral, they are shocked to catch sight of Zenia: even her death appears to have been yet another fiction. As the three women plot to confront their larger-than-life nemesis, Atwood proves herself a gleefully acute observer of the treacherous shoals of friendship, trust, desire, and power.
