Awarded with the Booker Prize, 'The Blind Assassin' is a novel by Margaret Atwood that combines gothic suspense, family saga, and elements of science fiction. The story unfolds in 1945 when Laura Chase commits suicide, leaving her sister Iris a manuscript titled 'The Blind Assassin'. Half a century later, Iris reflects on her life and the tragic death of her sister, marked by the publication of Laura's posthumous novel, which narrates a risky love story in the thirties. As the story progresses, love, sacrifice, and betrayal complicate both the invented and the real story, leading events towards catastrophe.
