Iris recalls her far from exemplary life, and the events leading up to her sister' s death, gradually revealing the carefully guarded Chase family secrets. Among these is \" The Blind Assassin, \" a novel that earned the dead Laura Chase not only notoriety but also a devoted cult following. Sexually explicit for its time, it was a pulp fantasy improvised by two unnamed lovers who meet secretly in rented rooms and seedy cafe s. As this novel-within-a-novel twists and turns through love and jealousy, self-sacrifice and betrayal, so does the real narrative, as both move closer to war and catastrophe. Margaret Atwood' s Booker Prize-winning sensation combines elements of gothic drama, romantic suspense, and science fiction fantasy in a spellbinding tale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67769421365536,"sku":"NEW0349013063","price":94.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/919ZXMAgBeL.jpg?v=1792005744","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-blind-assassin-0349013063","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
