Moral Disorder by Margaret Atwood

As I might have said before, Margaret Atwood is among my favourite writers, except for her sci fi gloomy stuff. This collection of short stories is a gem. The same characters flit in and out of the stories so you gradually build up a picture of them and a relationship with them. And I got the sense that she was telling the same story from different points of view, a very clever use of the short story genre I think. These are elegant and subtle stories and show Atwood at her restrained best. 4 stars.
