One of Margaret Atwood's most intricate and subversive novels, The Robber Bride revolves around the lives of three fascinating women. Classmates from university, Roz, Chairs, and Tony all shared the seductive and destructive experience of a frienship with the flashy, sensuous, smart, irresistible Zenia. But twenty years have passed since their college days. Zenia is dead, Roz, Charis, and Tony attended her funeral. As the novel opens, they meet for their monthly lunch at a trendy restaurant where, one by one, the three women spot Zenia, not dead at all and up to no good. 'Virtuoso fullness...vigour and wit...a hughely enjoyable novel' -The Globe and Mail-
