Wilderness Tips
'Outside the window it's snowing, the soft, damp, windless flakes of her childhood . . .The snow melts against her face like small fingers touching. She has done an outrageous thing, but she doesn't feel guilty'
The gruesome discoveries of an archaeological dig; the ghost of a girl; a wicked revenge on an ex-lover; a well-known journalist betrayed by a former mentor and friend: stories that chart the strange and secret places of the heart.
By the author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments
A leathery bog-man transforms an old love affair; a sweet, gruesome gift is sent by the wife of an ex-lover; landscape paintings are haunted by the ghost of a young girl. This dazzling collection of ten short stories takes us into familiar Atwood territory to reveal the logic of irrational behaviour and the many textures lying beneath ordinary life.
