'She's taken our times and made us wise to them' ALI SMITH 'She's Margaret Atwood and she can do anything' ANN PATCHETT 'She saw it all coming' TIME 'The outstanding novelist of our age' SUNDAY TIMES Immerse yourself in the creative universe of Margaret Atwood for a riot of life art and everything in between: the greatest writer of our time tells her own story 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 Cat's Eye to the unease of 1980s Berlin where she began The Handmaid's 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. ** THE ULTIMATE GIFT FOR ALL THE MARGARET ATWOOD FANS IN YOUR LIFE ** **Top ten Sunday Times bestseller week of 22 November 2025**
