07 Feb 2023

Description

Send us a textJoanna Nadin's The Queen of Bloody Everything, is about mothers, daughters and how we can make many choices in life but can't choose where we come from.As Edie Jones lies in a bed on the fourteenth floor of a Cambridge hospital, her adult daughter Dido tells their story, starting with the day that changed everything. That was the day Dido - aged exactly six years and twenty-seven days old - met the next door neighbours and fell in love. Because the Trevelyans were exactly the kind of family Dido dreamed of.  Normal.This book sucked me in from the start and it was so brilliant to talk to Lizz Lidbury about it. There's so much in this book: young carers, alcoholism, coercive control, what is a family? and so so much more.We talked about this article https://srh.bmj.com/content/45/1/61.abstract about reproductive controlLizz also recommended the wonderful book Man's Search for Meaning  by Viktor Frankl
