Query: excellent study for high school literature :)

An intreguing plot merging past with present that was studied for a year 11 literature course. Atwood managed to convey a realistic disturbing childhood which gripped us from the start. As a book that was building up to a dramatic confrontation the ending was a bit of a let down. But otherwise an excellent read and starting point for exploring a wide range of issues
