Recently, I just finished "The Blind Assassin" on my Kindle, and it was simply superb! It is written by one of my favourite authors - Margaret Atwood (one of the best authors from Canada). When I first read the sample chapters, I was slightly perplexed. However, the story was written in a unique style in which there is a novel within a novel, and it ends up being pure genius!
The story is set in WWII, and revolves around the life of two sisters. I don't want to ruin any of the suspence, so will leave it to you if you want to read the reviews on Amazon.
After I finished it, I found out this book won the Booker Price in 2000, and it definately deserved it!
Other novels from Margaret Atwood that I have thoroughly enjoyed previously and are available on the kindle are "The Handmaid's Tale" (a steal at $3.95) and "Oryx and Crake" ($7.96).
P.S. There are two "The Blind Assassin"s available on amazon, and after downloading sample chapters, I prefered the formatting of the cheaper one ($7.19).
