Make Mine a Memoir

In each episode, I'll talk about a couple of memoirs, and occasionally other books about people's lives, that I've been reading.

I'll tell you what I enjoyed, what surprised me, what stayed with me and, sometimes, what didn't quite work. There will be well-known memoirs, books you may never have come across, old favourites and new discoveries.

This isn't a book review show, and it isn't a lesson in how to write. It's simply a conversation about other people's lives on the page and why some of them stay with us long after we've finished reading.
