Uplifting. Humbling. Ramona's ostensibly free-flowing conversation brings out the best and the most illuminating ad-libs and obiter dicta from Margaret. The extract she read out from The Pure Gold Baby evoked shades of her earlier award winning novel The Millstone. Michael Holroyd must enjoy growing old with a youthful companion. She knows how to incise a tangled tissue of thought with precision.
This is such a treat. Drabble writes with such erudition and musicality. I’ve always enjoyed her novels.
...wonderful interview with a very insightful and reflective author.
