Hello,

This month, Sharon Blackie joined me to talk about her new book, Wise Women: Myths and Stories for Midlife and Beyond. There’s a reading guide and extract from the book here, and the recording of our conversation below. There’s also a transcript if you prefer to read, rather than listen.

I hope you enjoy our chat, and Sharon’s insights into folktales, ageing and the cast of kick-ass older women she introduces us to in this book.

Take care,

Katherine
