Status Updates From La donna che rubava i mariti

“Nobody seems to know any more what “a good man” is. Not even men…Maybe it’s because so many of the good men have been eaten, by man-eaters like Zenia. Most women disapprove of man-eaters; not so much because of the activity itself, or the promiscuity involved, but because of the greed. Women don’t want all the men eaten up by man-eaters; they want a few left over so they can eat some themselves.”

I read The Robber Bride when it was first published and it is one of the three of my favourite books by Atwood. (The Blind Assassin, Alias Grace and The Robber Bride. I always say I long for Atwood to return to historical fiction/fiction just one more time instead of her dystopian fiction). I recently bought the 4-book ebook bundle and seeing as today is Atwood's 86th birthday, I'm returning to The Robber Bride.
