BiographyAida was born to an Ethiopian father and a Canadian mother. She grew up in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. She studied English literature at Oxford University and the University of Toronto.[3] In 2014 her then forthcoming memoir, The Wife's Tale: A Personal History[4] – the story of Edemariam's Ethiopian grandmother, Yetemegnu[5] – was awarded the Royal Society of Literature's Jerwood Award for a non-fiction work in progress.[6][2] Informed by the author's 70 hours of interviews and conversations in Amharic with Yetemegnu,[7] The Wife's Tale received favourable critical on its publication in February 2018 by Fourth Estate/HarperCollins,[8][9] with the reviewer for The Times finding it "enriching",[10] and Lucy Hughes-Hallett writing in the New Statesman: "To read The Wife's Tale is not just to hear about times past and (for a western reader) far away, but to be transported into them."[11] Nilanjana Roy in The Financial Times described it as an "outstanding and unusual memoir" in which Edemariam traces a century of Ethiopian history through the life of her nonagenarian grandmother.[12] References1. ^{{cite news|author=Aida Edemariam|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2002/sep/27/bookerprize2002.thebookerprize|title=Us?
