Life Before Man
by Margaret Atwood

This is the least SF tinged Atwood I've ever read. It had it's good points, but overall I found it disappointing. The bitterness was there (the book was about a bad marriage which became a divorce, three children of failed marriages, their children), but there was no point, no message, and no ending.

No truly likable characters, but it's possible to sympathize with all three of the major actors. As with all of Atwood's works, it's well written. Just didn't work for me.
