Margaret Forster

Isa & May

 

Margaret Forster talks to Nicola Barranger about her latest novel - Isa and May which examines the rôle of the grandmother in families.

 

Listen to hear Margaret Forster discuss whether or not we have a right to dig up our ancestors' past and indeed whether they have the right to keep things secret from us.

 

Isamay has two grandmothers, indeed her name is an amalgamation of both their names. Each is very different and both demand a separate role from their granddaughter. Meanwhile Isamay is preparing an MA into famous figures in history who happen to be grandmothers. But what right does she have to uncover her own grandmothers' stories?
