Making It Up

A Booker Prize-winning Author

Here is Penelope Lively's deftly constructed response to that oft-asked question "How much of what you write comes from your own life?" A master of her craft, novelist Lively dips into several parallel worlds to explore the stories that could have been hers. Weaving through very plausible hesitations, choices, and definitive moments of a life, she also offers a meditation on the nature of fate, destiny, and choice.
