About this listen
It's got a thunderstorm in it. And revenge. Definitely revenge.
Felix is at the top of his game as artistic director of the Makeshiweg Theatre Festival. His productions have amazed and confounded. Now he's staging a Tempest like no other: not only will it boost his reputation, it will heal emotional wounds. Or that was the plan.
Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda. And brewing revenge.
After 12 years revenge finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here Felix and his inmate actors will put on his Tempest and snare the traitors who destroyed him. It's magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall?
Margaret Atwood's novel take on Shakespeare's play of enchantment, revenge and second chances leads us on an interactive, illusion-ridden journey filled with new surprises and wonders of its own.

Elegant, witty and compelling.
I loved this book.
I laughed - and I cried. In this book Margaret Atwood has painted a canvas that vividly depicts the raw human emotions of the agony of loss and the complexity of love. This is a great version of the Tempest.

Incredible book
I read this for school but I would have read this anyways - a fantastic, accessible, insightful read that can be best enjoyed when read in conjunction with the Tempest.

Brilliant! Genius!
Margaret Atwood has certainly revived Shakespeare and this play 'The Tempest' and so much more. Reading performance was perfect! Sounded so true to Felix's character and really dipped into the depths of character.

Hag Seed by Margaret Atwood
Amazing! This novel is outstanding in so many ways. A very clever plot based on & around Shakespeare’s The Tempest. But set in an institution where readers would never dream such intellectually challenging words could find a home.
There are so many different themes to follow & intriguing characters guiding us through. Revenge might be the dominant theme but there are many more.
The narrator is brilliant in his portrayal of so many different characters & his timing is perfect.
A must read.

Pleasing novel. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Only read Hag-Seed as it was required for the English class I am in. However, to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and would recommend.

Loved it
You don't need to know the Tempest play to understand and enjoy the book. It isn't boring or slow.

GEN Z reviews hag-seed
This audiobook was a very slay experience because honestly I thought I wouldn’t like it since Hag-seed was a prescribed novel I had to read in school and I wasn’t bothered to actually read it so I decided to listen to it…. Again very slay choice - p.s the voice actor who narrated Felix was very pleasant to listen too and encouraged me to continue on🫡👍
Spoiler alert:
The prisoners got cigarettes 💯
