Publisher's summary

In each of these tales, Margaret Atwood deftly illuminates the single instant that shapes a whole life: In a few brief minutes we watch as characters progress from the vulnerabilities of adolescence through the passions of youth into the precarious complexities of middle age. By superimposing the past on the present, Atwood paints interior landscapes shaped by time, regret, and life's lost chances, endowing even the banal with a sense of mystery.

Richly layered and disturbing, poignant at times and scathingly witty at others, the stories in Wilderness Tips take us into the strange and secret places of the heart and inform the familiar world in which we live with truths that cut to the bone.

Great collection well narrated

This narrator is great, and brings a lot to the stories which are all very good. I've read very few Atwood novels and don't consider myself a real fan of hers but these stories are nicely dark and entertaining enough to have me reconsidering that stance. Each one is about an hour and has lots of wonderful descriptions and language. These would be nice to share as a listen on a road trip with more people.

It all blends together

This collection of short stories has no breaks between the stories. It's not possible to tell when one ends and another begins.
