Life Before Man (4)

Life Before Man
Margaret Atwood
Read Sept 5, 2010

I really enjoy Margaret Atwood books... they are hard to catagorize, but always very interesting. This one written in 1979 revolves around a couple Nate & Elizabeth. Elizabeth is in a deep depression as her lover Chris has just committed suicide. From here we delve deeper into their lives, their childhood and in time Nate develops a relationship with Lesje a co-worker of Elizabeth's.
The story is not so much about what happens is it is about learning about the characters and what drives them, what motivates them to go on.
