BBC Radio 4 Extra - Meet the Parents, Series 3, AL Kennedy

Author AL Kennedy talks to her mother about life, literature and Shakespeare.

Novelist AL Kennedy talks to her mother about their shared love of Shakespeare, and reminisces with her about the books they read together when she was a child. From January 2013.

Award-winning, Scottish novelist AL Kennedy returns to her mother's house in Bidford-upon-Avon for a good old blether. Their stories literally take us around the world from Stratford to Australia and back to Dundee. Their shared love of literature and Shakespeare is inherent and their conversation is peppered with lovely anecdotal stories from Alison's childhood and the books they would often read together.
