What is the author's style in The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood?

The language and meaning in the main novel is simple and straightforward. Readers will find it interesting to see Laura take many catch phrases literally and ask questions like, "Does God lie?" Laura always wants serious answers to serious questions and is quite devout in her own way. However, she distrusts God in part because He took her mother away, but she seems to trust, blindly, what strangers say to her.
