Bluebeard's Egg was something I picked up at a second hand book shop in San Francisco before I read anything by Margaret Atwood. The other book of hers I chose was The Blind Assassin (which is a GREAT novel and a must read for lovers of literature).
This is a book of short stories and despite the fact that I'm slowly delving into them, I can't seem to like them as much as novels. Anyway Ms. Atwood is not only a great writer but a perfect one for me, I who like clean uncluttered prose find delight in every sentence of hers. I can't pick up a favorite from this one. I did like Bluebeard's Egg and I did like The Sunset. But then again there is not one I didn't like.
