What to expect
THE GLOBAL BESTSELLER
Books, feminism, school bullies, Hollywood stars, bears, The Handmaid's Tale, vengeance, love, creativity, death -- welcome to Margaret Atwood's world.
With her trademark wit, infamous wisdom and frankly astonishing recall, the creative icon takes us on a tour of her life so far and shows how it’s fed her writing. From her unfettered childhood in the wild forests of northern Quebec, to 1980s Berlin where the seeds of The Handmaid’s Tale were sown and on to her life today on the global cultural stage, settle into your ringside seat and witness a remarkable life in extraordinary times.
