Summary
The fifth novel by one of the world's most eminent literary women features a young journalist who flees to the Caribbean to reevaluate her life and learns a lesson in the lust for power and the need for compassion. Reissue. NYT.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale
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.
