The Robber Bride

Three lifelong friends Roz, Charis, and Tony meet for their regular lunch, but their reunion is shattered when Zenia, a woman they believed dead, walks back into their lives. Zenia first entered their circle in college, and over the following three decades she has repeatedly manipulated, betrayed, and damaged each of them, leaving deep emotional scars. Her sudden reappearance forces the three women to confront unresolved resentments and the lingering power she holds over their friendships. Atwood's novel explores how past trauma can resurface, testing the bonds of female friendship and the possibility of breaking free from her toxic hold.
