About this listen

Marian is determined to be ordinary. She lays her head gently on the shoulder of her serious fiancee and quietly awaits marriage. But she didn't count on an inner rebellion that would rock her stable routine, and her digestion. Marriage a la mode, Marian discovers, is something she literally can't stomach ...

The Edible Woman is a funny, engaging novel about emotional cannibalism, men and women, and desire to be consumed.

©1969, 1980 Margaret Atwood (P)2014 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd. Literature & Fiction

Loved this story

I had to read this for class and I absolutely love it, I’m obsessed. The only reason it didn’t get full 5 stars for performance is I’m Australian and the attempt at an Australian accent was kind of dreadful.
4.5 stars for performance otherwise
