| Review Quote* | #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER FINALIST FOR THE TRILLIUM BOOK AWARD FINALIST FOR CBC CANADA READS LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL IMPAC DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD LONGLISTED FOR THE SCOTIABANK GILLER PRIZE A Globe and Mail Best Book A New York Times Notable Book "A gripping and visceral book that showcases Atwood's pure storytelling talents." The New York Times "A heart-pounding thriller." The Washington Post "Atwood is funny and clever. [She] knows how to show us ourselves, but the mirror she holds up to life does more than reflect.... The Year of the Flood isn't prophecy, but it is eerily possible." The New York Times Book Review "A gripping read, revealing Atwood in her most masterful storytelling mode.... The book is a cracked mirror of the times we live in." The Gazette |
