Query: Dark Surfacing

Having read most of Margaret Atwood's works of fiction, I have to say that Surfacing is probably the darkest of any I have read by her -- including the Handmaid's Tale. Atwood has an uncanny ability to make normal things have a very macabre meaning. Surfacing is probably the book where she best uses her gift of extended metaphor. Her writing style in this book is even more free-flowing than is typical for Atwood. While Surfacing is one of Atwood's shorter novels, this story of a young woman realizing and dealing with her mental paralysis, is fantastic.
