The Mirror Book: Charlotte Grimshaw

 

The Mirror Book is one of the most-talked about memoirs of the year. In this exceptional book, Charlotte Grimshaw interrogates her memories in an effort to narrate her own life, a story that often negates the version as told by her parents, one of whom is the writer Carl Stead. What is at stake when your version of the truth is at odds with your family’s preferred version? What is the role of art in the making of a personal masterpiece? Charlotte talks with Catherine Robertson about the complexities of telling your own story.

PLEASE NOTE: That due to COVID 19 travel restrictions Charlotte Grimshaw will join us via livestream into the venue. We are delighted that we can still present this event.
