I've read every novel by Atwood, and Cat's Eye is one of my favourites.

(My top list: The Edible Woman; Murder in the Dark; Cat's Eye; Alias Grace. Everything else is good.)

Alias Grace is my favorite. I absolutely love it for Atwood's wordplay and her use of Victorian writing tropes.

I think Alias Grace is her best work, I just found the ambiguity swirling around the main character really fascinating.

The TV miniseries by Mary Harron is a pretty good interpretation of the story (with some rather violent scenes, of course).

That sounds interesting, too... ...is that streaming somewhere, by any chance?

I'll have to keep that in mind for my next Atwood read- Thanks!

Good to know- Thanks for this. I'll have to check out some of her other novels as well.
