The Blind Assassin - Margeret Atwood
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we want to know what you think is the best book ever written (plenty of scope there then). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

This book is two books really - the first is an old woman's recollections of her childhood, marriage and divorce, and the second is "The Blind Assassin", a love story between a 40s woman and a storyteller. But the synopsis could never do it justice really - it's a well-observed, witty, startling insight into the 20th century. It's not quite what you'd call a page-turner but stays with you for a long time.
