In this week's episode, Catherine Taylor reads from her new book The Stirrings: A Memoir in Northern Time, a story about coming of age in the north of England during the 1970s and 80s. Historical events were happening all around her: from the pursuit and capture of the Yorkshire Ripper, to the anti-nuclear protests and Miners’ Strike. But there were also pressing concerns at home, including her parent’s divorce and a debilitating illness that would define her late adolescence...We're so excited about this memoir and we hope you enjoy this reading from Catherine!Damian will be in-conversation with Catherine this August at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.The Stirrings is published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson and available now.
