It was an unfettered and nomadic childhood, sometimes isolated but also thrilling and beautiful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 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 \u003ci\u003eCat's Eye\u003c\/i\u003e to the unease of 1980s Berlin, where she began \u003ci\u003eThe Handmaid's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*Top ten \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller week of 22 November 2025*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargaret Atwood\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of more than fifty books of fiction, poetry and critical essays.
