About Bodily Harm

From the bestselling author of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments • By turns satiric, thrilling, and terrifying, Bodily Harm charts the dark currents of the lust for power—both sexual and political—as it builds to a devastating climax.

Rennie Wilford is a journalist who writes about the latest trends and considers herself an expert on the superficial surfaces of life.

When her own life takes a dark turn, she seeks to recuperate by flying to the Caribbean to research a fluffy travel piece. But her carelessly chosen destination, the tiny island of St. Antoine, is on the verge of a violent revolution and Rennie soon finds herself ensnared in a world of corruption and treachery and unsure whom to trust.

Praise

“Succeeds in mingling a considerable amount of humor . . . with the malevolent shadows of politics and history.” —The Boston Globe

“Superior writing, terrifying suspense.” —The Atlantic Monthly

“It knocked me out. Margaret Atwood seems to be able to do just about everything: people, places, problems, a perfect ear, an exactly right voice—and she tosses off terrific scenes with a casualness that leaves you utterly unprepared for the way these scenes seize you.” —Anatole Broyard, The New York Times
