Event sponsored by
Writer and journalist and mother to five children Clover Stroud talks about what it means to be a mother and about female sexuality and identity.
Stroud honestly addresses the conflicting emotions of motherhood – how intense, sensuous, joyful, boring, profound and dark it can be. The book charts the first year of the life of her youngest child and searches for answers to questions many would be afraid to admit having.
Stroud writes for newspapers and magazines including the Daily Mail, Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph and Conde Nast Traveller. Her first book, The Wild Other, a powerful personal memoir, was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize. Here she talks to journalist and novelist Lucy Atkins, author of The Night Visitor, The Other Child and The Missing One.
