    Kiran Millwood Hargrave on Almost Life with Rachel Ashenden

    This episode comes from our recent event with Kiran Millwood Hargrave for her latest novel Almost Life. Hargrave is the bestselling author of books including The Mercies and The Dance Tree, and we were so thrilled to welcome her to the shop for this one. Almost Life follows Erica and Laure from their meeting in Paris in 1978 across decades and continents, life changes, regrets, longing, and so much love. Hargrave was in conversation with culture writer Rachel Ashenden for a heartfelt and hilarious discussion of sapphic yearning, coming out to your mum, and the joy of writing a novel like this one.
