Books to help us navigate everyday life, with Damian Barr. A new series for BBC Radio 4.
Each episode takes a life experience - such as grief - and talks to writers about they handle it through their own reading, writing and lived experience. We explore the fiction, non-fiction, memoir and poetry that might help us better understand our own stories. Books to guide us, inspire us, challenge us, and to help us deepen our understanding of the things we all grapple with day-to-day.
Guests include Sarah Perry, Sinéad Gleeson, Helen Macdonald, Melissa Harrison, Stella Duffy and Cathy Rentzenbrink.
