Description

Listen to full audiobooks for free on :https://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: The Blind Assassin Author: Margaret Atwood Narrator: Lorelei King Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 06-16-05 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Genres: Fiction, Contemporary Summary: Laura Chase's older sister Iris, married at 18 to a politically prominent industrialist but now poor and 82, is living in Port Ticonderoga, a town dominated by their once-prosperous family before the First War. While bewailing her unreliable body and deriding those who try to help her, Iris reflects on her far from exemplary life and her perilous times, but in particular on the events surrounding her sister's tragic early death. Chief among these was the publication of The Blind Assassin, a novel which earned the dead Laura Chase a dollop of notoriety as well as a cult following: as Iris says, she herself lives "in the long shadow cast by Laura". Sexually explicit for its time and place, The Blind Assassin describes a risky affair in the turbulent '30s between a wealthy young woman and a left-leaning man on the run.
