Welcome back Bookends! Today's episode is a joyous one, we had Meg Clothier on to chat to us about her brilliant new book 'The Book of Eve', an exciting and magical exploration of women and power and the forces of religion and beyond. We loved it and highly recommend you get yourselves a copy! It's out now and published by Wildfire. Aswell as chatting about the book, we discuss the overlap between self and fiction, how Meg's constant desire to smell things around her evokes a sensory experience for her readers, patriarchal systems within the church and so much more, it's a riveting conversation and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
