Bodily Harm

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Handmaid's TaleRennie Wilford is a journalist who writes about the latest trends and considers herself an expert on the superficial surfaces of life. When her own life takes a dark turn, she seeks to recuperate by flying to the Caribbean to research a fluffy travel piece. But her carelessly chosen destination, the tiny island of St. Antoine, is on the verge of a violent revolution and Rennie soon finds herself ensnared in a world of corruption and treachery and unsure whom to trust. By turns satiric, thrilling, and terrifying, Margaret Atwood’s Bodily Harm charts the dark currents of the lust for power—both sexual and political—as it builds to a devastating climax.
