Childhood homes, cherished libraries, coastal sanctuaries – how do the places we remember shape who we are? Drawing on decades of writing and observation, literary legend Margaret Drabble blends memoir, essay, and short fiction in The Great Good Places, a profoundly moving meditation on time, memory, and the process of ageing. Today, she brings her astonishing wit and intelligence to discuss the pleasures and complexities of looking back on a life deeply lived. Chaired by Lennie Goodings.

The livestream for this event will also be available on demand after the event ends.
