Publisher's Synopsis
MORAL DISORDER is a collection of eleven stories, snapshots tracing the course of a life, and the lives intertwined with it... The first story is set in the present, as a couple no longer young situate themselves in a world no longer safe. Then the narrative switches time, as the central character moves through childhood and adolescence. We follow her into young adulthood, through a complex relationship, and the heartbreaking old age of parents, but circle back to childhood again, to complete the cycle. By turns funny, moving, lyrical, incisive, tragic, earthy, shocking and deeply personal, MORAL DISORDER displays Atwood's celebrated storytelling gifts and inimitable style to their best advantage.
