About This Item
Toronto,: McClelland & Stewart. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. 0771008635 . Black hardboards / gilt lettering on spine. This is a very nice copy, with slight bumping to the spine ends, of this First Edition copy from Awood. The DJ is unclipped with very moderate edgewear. "The Blind Assassin is a tale of two sisters, one of whom dies under ambiguous circumstances in the opening pages. The survivor, Iris Chase Griffen, initially seems a little cold-blooded about this death in the family. But as Margaret Atwood's most ambitious work unfolds--a tricky process, in fact, with several nested narratives and even an entire novel-within-a-novel--we're reminded of just how complicated the familial game of hide-and-seek can be." ; 1.81 x 9.37 x 6.38 Inches; 521 pages .
