Keep it in the Family

Part of Plymouth International Book Festival

When mother and daughter are both successful writers what are family gatherings like? Join us as we discuss with poet Vicki Feaver and author Jane Feaver, their personal and shared experiences of their careers and how it has affected family relationships.

Vicki is author of the award-winning Close Relatives; The Handless Maiden and The Book of Blood and Jane’s According to Ruth was shortlisted for the Authors’ Club Best First Novel Award and the Dimplex Prize.

"Vicki Feaver's poems resonate with truth and raw emotion... Whether she is writing about ironing, childhood, periods or love, her wry humour and sensuous style make familiar subject matter seem fresh and new" - Kate Figes, Cosmopolitan

“Jane Feaver has proved an expert at creating a sense of place ... tender, imaginative prose” - Sunday Herald
