Cut & Thirst
Cut & Thirst | Margaret Atwood
2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
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

An interesting story about a group of older women plotting revenge on the men who harmed their friend's writing career. I liked the depiction of a group of friends who have stayed together since their college days. Not much action here, this was more of a descriptive story.

I now have the first cold I‘ve had since before Covid. Ugh. All I want to do is drink tea and read this new Margaret Atwood story, but *someone* is of the opinion that my presence is required outside to play ball. Double ugh, pup!

dabbe So sorry to read that you're sick! Maybe your pup will get up there with you and snuggle. Hope you're on the mend soon. 💚🩷💚 1mo
Aimeesue @dabbe Ha! Charlie is the least cuddly dog ever! She does like to climb up and stand on me though 😄 1mo

dabbe @Aimeesue Is she still young? She might grow into a cuddler someday! 🤩 1mo
Aimeesue @Leftcoastzen Thanks! It‘s not TOO bad - I just haven‘t been sick in four years and I forgot how much sinus stuff hurts 😂 1mo
Aimeesue @dabbe She‘s 2-ish, we think, so maybe! Kelpies are kind of high anxiety herding dogs though, so she‘s got exactly 2 speeds right now - full speed ahead and full stop. She‘ll literally fall asleep chewing on a bone. 😂 1mo
Suet624 I hope you feel@better soon. 1mo
Tamra Speedy recovery! My mini Aussie is on or off too. 😉 1mo
Aimeesue @Tamra Oh my gosh, it‘s like having a toddler around! At least they‘re really smart and learn fast. Charlie gets so excited by birds and squirrels outside that she jumps up and down like a kangaroo. At least she‘s quit barking while she jumps 😂 (edited) 1mo
Tamra @Aimeesue 😂 yes! I‘m always joking with him asking if he wants a hug and hugging him. 1mo
Aimeesue @Suet624 Thanks! Having a hot toddy to kill the germs and add some vitamin C! 😁 1mo
