Join us for a rare and intimate evening with Margaret Atwood, as she shares insights from her long-awaited memoir, Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts.
With her signature wit, wisdom, and unflinching eye, Atwood will take us through the defining moments of her extraordinary life, from her unconventional childhood in the wilds of Quebec to the seismic cultural shifts that have shaped her work.
