Als Tochter von Wissenschaftler:innen verbrachte Atwood den Großteil ihrer Kindheit in der kanadischen Wildnis – der Start in ein Ausnahme-Leben. Es folgen die Jahre, in denen sie erst Teil der literarischen Bohème und dann zu jener Autorin wurde, deren legendärer »Report der Magd« (geschrieben im Berlin der 1980er Jahre) unsere Welt bis heute prägen. Atwood erzählt, wie es weiterging, lässt uns teilhaben an ihren Freundschaften, am Leben mit ihrem Mann Graeme. Das Ergebnis ist ein farbenfrohes, hochamüsantes Buch voller überlebensgroßer Figuren: Dichter, Bären, Hollywood-Schaupieler

Criada por padres de mentalidad científica y espíritu independiente, Margaret Atwood pasó gran parte de su infancia en los bosques remotos del norte de Quebec, lejos de las convenciones sociales.
