{"product_id":"the-blind-assassin-margaret-atwood","title":"The Blind Assassin - Margaret Atwood","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTen days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge.\" These words are spoken by Iris Chase Griffen, married at eighteen to a wealthy industrialist but now poor and eighty-two. Iris recalls her far from exemplary life, and the events leading up to her sister' s death, gradually revealing the carefully guarded Chase family secrets. Among these is \" The Blind Assassin, \" a novel that earned the dead Laura Chase not only notoriety but also a devoted cult following. Sexually explicit for its time, it was a pulp fantasy improvised by two unnamed lovers who meet secretly in rented rooms and seedy cafes. As this novel-within-a-novel twists and turns through love and jealousy, self-sacrifice and betrayal, so does the real narrative, as both move closer to war and catastrophe. Margaret Atwood' s Booker Prize-winning sensation combines elements of gothic drama, romantic suspense, and science fiction fantasy in a spellbinding tale.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsed Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"pagesFormat\"\u003e536 pages, Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"publicationInfo\"\u003eFirst published September 1, 2000\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brewberry Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42294703030366,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/0585\/9678\/files\/tba_c1e46e8f-fdab-452b-94f4-e337fc1f7bc9.jpg?v=1766281320","url":"https:\/\/www.brewberrybooks.ca\/products\/the-blind-assassin-margaret-atwood","provider":"Brewberry Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
