Publisher's Summary
Three women scheme to avenge an old friend in a darkly witty short story about loyalty, ambition, and delicious retribution by Margaret Atwood, the #1 bestselling author of The Handmaid’s Tale.
Myrna, Leonie, and Chrissy meet every Thursday to sample fine cheeses, to reminisce about their former lives as professors, and lately, to muse about murder. Decades ago, a vicious cabal of male poets contrived—quite publicly and successfully—to undermine the writing career, confidence, and health of their dear friend Fern. Now, after Fern has taken a turn for the worse, her three old friends decide that it’s finally time to strike back—in secret, of course, since Fern is far too gentle to approve of a vendetta. All they need is a plan with suitably Shakespearean drama. But as sweet and satisfying as revenge can be, it’s not always so cut and dried.

“Cut & Thirst”, a short story by Margaret Atwood (an Amazon Original Story)
This is a short story of about 35 pages.
A copy was available from Kindle (at no additional cost for Prime subscribers), so I decided to download a copy, after all it’s by a renowned writer.
Well, it took me longer than expected to finish reading. Which should have been a one sitting session it took me 4 attempts. Still I wasn’t hooked on the writing and story, so I purchased the audiobook for $1.79 (it was on sale).
The audiobook was very pleasant and help me finish the book (I read and listened at the same time), but the whole thing was an underwhelming experience.
It failed to entertain me.
