Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett and Alice Vincent

    

In The Year of the Cat, Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett explores the enduring relationship between women writers, artists and their cats as winter turns to spring over the course of a locked-down year. Navigating trauma and mental illness, what it means to care and artistic freedom, this tender memoir charts the way a kitten called Mackerel walked into Rhiannon's home and heart and taught her to face down her fears and appreciate quite how much love she had to offer.

Why Women Grow is a much-needed exploration of why women turn to the earth, as gardeners, growers and custodians. Alice Vincent fosters connections with gardeners that unfurl into a tender exploration of women’s lives, their gardens and what the ground has offered them, with conversations spanning creation and loss, celebration and grief, power, protest, identity and renaissance.

Join Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett and Alice Vincent for a fascinating discussion about their brilliant books, gardens, motherhood, art, creativity and cats!
