Part detective novel, part psychological thriller, Surfacing is the story of a talented woman artist who goes in search of her missing father on a remote island in northern Quebec. Setting out with her lover and another young couple, she soon finds herself captivated by the isolated setting, where a marriage begins to fall apart, violence and death lurk just beneath the surface, and sex becomes a catalyst for conflict and dangerous choices.

Jeden Abend treffen sie sich dort und erzählen einander ihre ungewöhnlichen, spannenden, komischen und bewegenden Geschichten. Jeder Mieter und jede Mieterin steuert eine bei (wahr oder zumindest gut erfunden), und ein neues Decamerone für unsere Zeit nimmt seinen Anfang. Allmählich findet die Runde zu einer unerwarteten Gemeinschaft und Anteilnahme füreinander.

Margaret Atwood ist überzeugt: "Die Geschichte, wie sie in der "Odyssee" erzählt wird, ist nicht wasserdicht." Hier erzählt deshalb Penelope selbst rückblickend ihre Geschichte, skeptisch und scharfsichtig betrachtet sie ihr Leben, ihren seefahrenden Gatten Odysseus, die gewiefte Cousine Helena, den dümmlichen Paris, die brutale, patriarchalische Gesellschaft der Antike. Die Mägde bilden einen Chor, der den Bericht Penelopes aus der anonymen Perspektive der Machtlosen ergänzt. Intim, leicht und dabei illusionslos beschreiben die Frauen, was sie sehen, denken und erleben.
