Took about an hour to read — and probably about an hour to write, but it’s a harmless way to pass the time.
Absolutely delightful
What a wonderful story of intrigue, relationships and mystery. This is a laugh out loud short story with a cute ending.
This is an Amazon Publishing short story, so it is available to read for free under Prime reading. It's been a while, but I am an Atwood stan, so I had to read immediately after stumbling upon it.
To me, the title is based on the generic views of a teenage girl—arguably, any teenager (typically) feels the same at some point in their lives. Her mother claims to be anything but normal, or rather the neighborhood claims it for he...be it a potionist, or looney, or even a witch if you will. I loved the way Atwood handled this in such a short amount of time. Could her mother have actually been all of these things? Sure. Is any of it definite? No.
If you have some time, I implore you to read this. This is all kinds of witty, funny, and loving. So many little tiny things will resonate with you from your parents. How they behave, talk, what they will do to protect you, how they'll allow themselves to be perceived. It made me miss my own mother, even with the title like ‘My Evil Mother'...mine is anything but “evil” FYI.
A great, lyrical, poetic short story. Exactly what you should expect from Margaret Atwood. Personally a 5/5*
