Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood’s last novel The Year of the Flood broke off mysteriously, raising expectations that there was a third book to come in the dazzling apocalyptic sequence initiated with Oryx and Crake. Now, at last, MaddAddam – full of dark satiric wit and peopled with all too human characters – completes a trilogy of startling vision, urgency, and inventiveness. It is thrilling to be able to invite Margaret Atwood back to Ely to introduce the climactic instalment of a work that will surely stand as a crowning achievement of her remarkable career.
