The studio guest on this week’s Bookmark is Ellee Seymour, author of The Sunday Times bestseller, The Shop Girls, which examines the lives of the women who worked at Heyworths, an upmarket department store in Cambridge that thrived during the 1950s. She reveals how, during her research, she uncovered a heartbreaking secret in the life of shop owner Herbert Heyworth.
We also have interviews with author and columnist, John Mullan, on his book Anonymity about why some writers prefer to be known as ‘anon’ and we chat to Julia Blackburn about her latest biography, Threads; The Delicate Life of John Craske, the extraordinary story of the Norfolk fisherman and artist who lived for months at a time in a state of stupor. Leigh Chambers presents.
