Margaret Atwood

A Short Story

My Evil Mother

Dave | Storyphoria

I really enjoyed how fast paced the story was while also leaving us with a lot to think about in terms of family relationships between our own parents, the hardships faced by broken homes, and even our relationships with our own children if we have them.

For a short story it carried a lot of weight, a heaviness wrapped in a fun and almost whimsical darkness that made the pages fly by. 

If you enjoy Atwood's writing, you'll likely enjoy this story. If, like me, you've never read any of Atwood's writing, then check this out. It's a great blend of family relationships and potentially dark witch-craft that leaves you some subtler things to think about in terms of your own family relationships.

Bekar bir annenin ergenlik çağındaki kızını delilik ile cadılık arası bir noktada, kendi hatalarının benzerlerinden koruma çabası. Bir yandan da her toplumun içine işlemiş olan “erkeksiz ev” kavramına değiniyor. Çok kısa (32 sayfa), bir kahve içimine güzel bir öykü sığdırmış.

I wanted to read this novella before I read anything else of hers. Just wanted to know if I like her writing style and honestly I do. The story itself is quite amazing as well. Is it witchcraft or is it love? I don‘t want to say too much about the actual plot since this is a short novella and I think you should read it yourself.
