- Summary:
- In her long-awaited memoir, celebrated author Margaret Atwood--creator of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments--turns her storytelling brilliance on her own life. Raised in the wild forests of northern Quebec by independent, science-minded parents, Atwood recalls a childhood that was both lonely and full of wonder. She traces her journey from those early days to her rise as one of the world's most influential writers, revealing the moments and inspirations behind her most famous works. Blending personal history, literary insight, and encounters with remarkable people, Atwood offers a witty, reflective, and deeply human portrait of a life devoted to words and imagination.
