In this riotous and revelatory live recording of their hit Secret Life of Books podcast, Sophie Gee and Jonty Claypole welcome Women’s Prize Award-winning author of Hamnet and Land, Maggie O’Farrell, and Durham University’s Professor of Psychology, who heads up the ReaderBank study, Ben Alderson-Day, to talk all things books, brains, and imaginations. Expect a quick-witted conversation about what on Earth is going on in our heads when we read (and write) books!
