#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK
A GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK
LONGLISTED FOR THE GILLER PRIZE


“A gripping and visceral book that showcases Atwood’s pure storytelling talents.” —The New York Times

“[The Year of the Flood] shows the Nobel Prize-worthy Atwood . . . at the pinnacle of her prodigious creative powers.” —Elle

“Atwood renders this civilization and these two lives within it with tenderness and insight, a healthy dread, and a guarded humor.” —O, the Oprah Magazine

“A heart-pounding thriller.” —The Washington Post

“A gripping read, revealing Atwood in her most masterful storytelling mode. . . . The book is a cracked mirror of the times we live in.” —The Gazette

“Atwood spins the most arresting alternate mythologies to our hell-bent world. . . . The Year of the Flood is a slap-happy romp through the end times.” —The Los Angeles Times

“The novel’s greatest strength is the quiet picture it offers of [Toby and Ren’s] fraught but tender relationship, especially after their paths intertwine.” —The Walrus

“Thought-provoking, beautifully constructed, and rich with the imaginative flourishes for which [Atwood] is rightly famous. . . . A hugely entertaining and satisfying read.” —The Irish Independent

The Year of the Flood is above all else a Margaret Atwood novel, richly characterized and emotionally and intellectually rewarding.” —Literary Review of Canada

“Heart-pounding, mysterious and surprisingly touching. . . . She enchants us so convincingly that after her spell is over, the ‘real’ world seems temporarily transformed. The Year of the Flood is both a warning and a gift.” NPR

“Atwood is funny and clever. [She] knows how to show us ourselves, but the mirror she holds up to life does more than reflect. . . . The Year of the Flood isn’t prophecy, but it is eerily possible.” —The New York Times Book Review

“Engrossing and suspenseful.” —The New York Review of Books

“Atwood's latest is a fiercely imagined tale of suffering that rivals Job’s. . . . As dark as Atwood's vision may be, the bonds among her women give her work a bittersweet power.” —PEOPLE

“Atwood's mischievous, suspenseful, and sagacious dystopian novel follows the trajectory of current environmental debacles to a shattering possible conclusion with passionate concern and arch humor.” —Booklist, starred review

“There is one kind of fiction where complex, unpredictable individuality is really very rare. That is satire, and satire is one of Atwood’s strongest veins. . . . Extraordinary novel.” —Ursula K. Le Guin, The Guardian

“Funny. . . . Entertaining. . . . You fall into her intensely inventive world and find yourself carried happily along.” —Anthony Doerr
