Zenia ist schön, intelligent, lebenshungrig und die personifizierte Bösartigkeit. Selbst ihre drei besten Freundinnen sind vor ihren Gemeinheiten nicht sicher. Zenia hat sich ihr Vertrauen erschlichen und sich dann der Ehemänner bemächtigt. Als Zenia stirbt, nehmen die Freundinnen erleichtert an der Beerdigung teil und seither begehen sie diesen Tag gemeinsam und reden von der Vergangenheit. Und aus dieser Vergangenheit taucht Zenia plötzlich wieder auf, der Alptraum beginnt aufs neue. Margaret Atwood, eine der bedeutendsten Autorinnen Kanadas, schildert den Kampf unter Frauen, in dem Männer höchstens als Beute eine Rolle spielen.

Klappentext
'A fairy tale of malicious simplicity' Salman Rushdie
Zeina is beautiful, smart and greedy, by turns manipulative and vulnerable, needy and ruthless; a man's dream and a woman's nightmare. She is also dead. Just to make sure Tony, Roz and Charis are there for the funeral. But five years on, as the three women share an indulgent sisterly lunch, the unthinkable happens: 'with waves of ill will flowing out of her like cosmic radiation', Zeina is back . . .
