Margaret Atwood: Book of Lives, A Memoir of Sorts

From an unconventional beginning, spent in the wild forest of northern Quebec, Atwood traces her life through the books that shaped it, from the cruel school year behind ‘Cat’s Eye’ to 1980s Berlin, where she began ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’. Rich with the natural world, literature, politics, and her love for Graeme Gibson, she introduces poets, bears, Hollywood stars, and unforgettable characters. Reflecting on her past, Atwood reveals the links between life and art, and the workings of one of our boldest imaginations.
