Clover Stroud

 

Journalist and Sunday Times Bestselling author Clover Stroud talks about why life-writing is storytelling, her curiosity about how people live their lives, the novels that she wrote before turning to memoir and finding right space and time to write. As well as discussing her three books The Wild Other - which is about her travels and the catastrophic accident of her mothers that changed her family life, My Wild and Sleepless Nights - which is about motherhood in all its guises and her most recent book, The Red of My Blood - which is about death and life following the death of her beloved sister Nell.
