Atwood is the queen of thought-provoking, witty writing.

Stone Mattress is a collection of 9 stories based on old people. There is a mixed bag of characters from an author of a fantasy series to a disembodied hand that is madly in love.

All the stories in the book feature the characters looking back on their lives.

I really enjoyed the stories which had themes of romance, horror and brilliantly executed wit.

A story about loving yourself even when society tells you not to. Willowdean is a plus size girl and the daughter of a pageant queen. She lives in contrast to her mother who lives based on appearances. Will decides to enter a beauty pageant as a form of protest to the perceived perfection they target and learns a lot about herself, friendship, and family. The message of body positivity and loving yourself/embracing yourself for who you are is very heartwarming. One worth rewatching.

Excellent story

Loved this so much, I was toe tapping and singing the whole way through. I don't think many people can say they aren't a fan on Queen, they appealed to the masses.

This film is progressive and done well despite being dramatised. It ended in a good place.

The character/people development was very good and it was nice to see an insight into the band behind the legend.

Would highly recommend, although a sad ending it lifted my spirits.

"I read these out loud quite often. The letters are gathered from such a diverse range of people, from Steve Martin to Napoleon, and David Bowie to Mary, Queen of Scots—in this case on the night of her execution. There are love letters, letters of state, there’s a particularly funny one from a British ambassador to Moscow. They are tiny chinks of light into all these different lives, from Charlie Chaplin to Hitler. Each letter is reproduced as a facsimile of the original."
