The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood(Goodreads Author) 3.82 Rating details 44,276 ratings 2,375 reviews Margaret Atwood's The Robber Brideis inspired by 'The Robber Bridegroom,' a wonderfully grisly tale from the Brothers Grimm in which an evil groom lures three maidens into his lair and devours them, one by one. One of the most curious moments of the novel comes at the end when the other women know that they are finally done with Zenia in her physical form, thus she can no longer wreak the havoc on their lives that she has wrought over the last few decades. All three have lost men, spirit, money, and time to their old college acquaintance, Zenia. In Margaret Atwoods The Robber Bride, three women friends, Tony, Charis, and Roz, survive brutal assaults on their lives by a fourth woman, Zenia. But in her version, Atwood brilliantly recasts the monster as Zenia, a villainess of demonic proportions, and sets her loose in the lives of three friends: Tony, Charis, and Roz.
