Elizabeth has just lost her latest lover to suicide while Nate, her husband, is working up to run off with Lesje. And Lesje? She would rather be studying dinosaurs than distracted by men.

Customer Reviews
Life before Man
This is a marvellous book, and the first Atwood I read. I was then hooked and have read most of her works. A real page turner and so fabulously written. Love it.
