From the publisher
Zenia is beautiful, smart and greedy, by turns manipulative and vulnerable, needy and ruthless; a man's dream and a woman's nightmare. She is also dead. Just to make sure Tony, Roz and Charis are there for the funeral.
But five years on, as the three women share an indulgent, sisterly lunch, the unthinkable happens; 'with waves of ill will flowing out of her like cosmic radiation', Zenia is back...
'It stirs depths that CAT'S EYE did not reach, and grants deeper, stronger powers to women's friendship in distress.' – Marina Warner
'Margaret Atwood's new novel is a fairy tale of malicious simplicity. Fay Weldon's SHE-DEVIL meets John Updike's WITCHES OF EASTWICK ... Vividly written, acutely observed and very likely the most intelligently tongue in cheek novel of the year.' – Salman Rushdie, INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
'The virtuosity with which Margaret Atwood's prose moves between rage and wit, poignancy and suspense, fantasy and realism makesTHE ROBBER BRIDE a stimulating read.' – THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
'Excitements, wit and insight sizzle across the pages. Atwood's survey of impulses that bedevil life seethes with imagination, inventiveness and intelligence. Even she has never written better than in this novel of glittering breadth and dark, eerie depths.' – SUNDAY TIMES
