About this listen

Margaret Atwood’s latest brilliant collection of short stories follows the life of a single character, seen as a girl growing up the 1930s, a young woman in the 50s and 60s, and, in the present day, half of a couple, no longer young, reflecting on the new state of the world.

Each story focuses on the ways relationships transform a character’s life: a woman’s complex love for a married man, the grief upon the death of parents and the joy with the birth of children, the realisation of what growing old with someone you love really means.

By turns funny, lyrical, incisive, earthy, shocking, and deeply personal, Moral Disorder displays Atwood’s celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage.

Critic reviews

"Shaped by a Darwinian perspective, political astuteness, autobiographical elements, and a profound trust in literature, Atwood's stories evoke humankind's disastrous hubris and phenomenal spirit with empathy and bemusement." ( Booklist)
"Her stories are sophisticated, reticent, ornate, stark, supple, stiff, savage or forgiving; they are exactly what she wants them to be. They are stories from the prime of life." ( Times Literary Supplement)

I forgot how exquisitely Atwood writes

absolutely captivating stories. At times witty, at times invigorating, at times heartbreaking. Smooth performance

a very disjointed story

a very disjointed story and quite boring at times and quite difficult to follow. No real ending. Very unlike the other Margaret Astwood books.

Very boring

I usually like Atwood’s novels, but this was just like someone reading out a series of very boring diary entries. Not recommended. Good narration.
