THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERFat and satisfying Observer I loved it Dua Lipa Deliciously naughty iNews Beautifully told Woman Home Spellbinding FT Book of the Year Guardian, Financial Times, Observer, Belfast TelegraphImmerse yourself in the creative universe of Margaret Atwood for a riot of life, art and everything in between Raised by scientifically minded parents, Atwood spent most of each year in the wild forest of northern Quebec: a vast playground for her entomologist father and independent, resourceful mother. It was an unfettered and nomadic childhood, sometimes isolated but also thrilling and beautiful.From this unconventional start, Atwood unfolds the story of her life, linking key moments to the books that have shaped our literary landscape, from the cruel school year that would become Cats Eye to the unease of s Berlin, where she began The Handmaids Tale. In pages alive with the natural world, reading and books, major political turning points and her lifelong love for the charismatic writer Graeme Gibson, we meet poets, bears, Hollywood stars and larger-than-life characters straight from the pages of an Atwood novel.As she explores her past, Atwood reveals more and more about her writing, the connections between real life and art and the workings of one of our boldest imaginations.
