Bodily Harm Summary

Bodily Harm by Margaret Atwood

A clever and addictive thriller from the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments

Rennie Wilford is a young journalist running from her life. When she takes an assignment to a Caribbean island she tumbles into a world where no one is quite what they seem, least of all 'Yankee' Paul.

Is Paul a drug smuggler? A CIA operative? Either way he's trouble and his offer to Rennie of a no-hooks, no strings affair, will suddenly draw her into in a lethal web of corruption.

'As swift-moving as the best thriller, clipped and laconic, yet deeply and richly sensitive' Sunday Telegraph

Bodily Harm Reviews

One of the most richly entertaining novels I've read for years * Guardian *
A beautifully written, witty and often poignant account of a brave woman's attempt to come to terms with her situation and recover her spirits * Daily Telegraph *
What makes her book so considerable an achievement is the mature, informed accuracy of its view of life. What makes it so exhilarating is the profusion of tough wit and precise poetry that everywhere transforms its black bulletins from documentary into art * Times Literary Supplement *
The only way to describe my response to Bodily Harm is to say that it knocked me out... She tosses off perfect scenes with a casualness that leaves you utterly inprepared for the way these stories seize you * New York Times *
Atwood's vivid prose, tough wit and acute insight turn a scenario that would suit a beach-read thriller into a complex and compelling novel * Sunday Times *
