About this listen
Marian is determined to be ordinary. She lays her head gently on the shoulder of her serious fiancé and quietly awaits marriage. But she didn't count on an inner rebellion that would rock her stable routine and her digestion. Marriage a la mode, Marian discovers, is something she literally can't stomach....
The Edible Woman is a funny, engaging novel about emotional cannibalism, men and women, and desire to be consumed.

Excellent story!
This is one of those stories that changes with every read/listen. I loved and hated, cried and smiled... and that Duncan.... what a character! #Audible1

really enjoyable
Really impressed with Atwood's delicious first novel. It digested well, and considering it's age it still seemed fresh. I'm always amazed how every word she writes has deeper meaning that keeps me thinking. Lorelei's narration was well done with very recognizable characters, that left me hungry for more.

University educated girls in 1960 Toronto
Love it! Discover how was a young woman life in 1960. Independent and open minded attitude was not expected for a good wife...to be.

very enjoyable!!
I related to most of the characters in this book, odd though some of them are. The book was also more humorous than I expected.
Having been written in the 70s I think, I'm not sure if a younger person would find it as relatable.
The narrator was also very good!!

The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood
I haven't read this book since 1981 (when I read it for Grade 13 English). I was struck by the fact that in today's snowflake-ridden, politically correct climate NO school board would allow students to read a book with blatent sex, sexual themes, promiscuity etc. I'm glad I grew up in the 70s, drank out of the hose, washed my hair with dish soap and read Go Ask Alice in grade 6!!!

Riveting and relatable
I really enjoyed this listen. I haven’t read much of Margaret Atwood. I’m happy I started with this book and will go on to listen to more of her writing. She is an incredibly talented writer.

Great book!
I really enjoyed this book. I have never been disappointed with any book by Margret Attwood. She is an excellent story teller and I recommend this book to anyone.
