I was of course being a tad facetious about feeling sorry for Margaret Atwood. I’m sure her reputation is not being undermined very badly by comments in NLBC.

On the mixing of fact and fiction, the real problem for me was Dr Jordan. He was necessary as someone to whom Grace told her version of events, but I think that Atwood gave him too much attention and turned him into a more important character than he should have been. Had she cut out all of his side story, I think the book would have been all the better for it.
