Writing from Family Elizabeth Knox and Charlotte Grimshaw

Award-winning novelists Elizabeth Knox and Charlotte Grimshaw have each written searing memoirs. In Night, Ma Knox details a string of shocking calamities with frankness and humour. In The Mirror Book, Grimshaw looks beyond the public face of her family life to the messy reality. They chat with fellow memoirist Noelle McCarthy.
