Synopsis
Ever since her engagement, the strangest thing has been happening to Marian McAlpin: she can't eat. First meat. Then eggs, vegetables, cake, pumpkin seeds--everything! Worse yet, she has the crazy feeling that she's being eaten. Marian ought to feel consumed with passion, but she really just feels...consumed. A brilliant and powerful work rich in irony and metaphor, The Edible Woman is an unforgettable masterpiece by a true master of contemporary literary fiction.

From the Back Cover
“Articulate and sophisticated.…Extraordinarily witty, and full of ironic observation.…A tour de force.…”
– Toronto Star
“[Atwood is] one of the most intelligent and talented writers to set herself the task of deciphering life in the late twentieth century.”
– Vogue
“Remarkable.… The Edible Woman assumes the force of a banal dream that has turned, without the dreamer quite noticing, into a nightmare.…[It] conceals the kick of a perfume bottle converted into a Molotov cocktail.”
– Time
“Delightful – spare, precise, mordantly witty.…Exquisitely written.”
– Journal of Canadian Fiction
