342: Maggie O'Farrell, Kathryn Harkup and Jo Caulfield - Wigtown Book Festival 2023 Part 2

In a second visit this year to Wigtown, Robert Kirkwood talks to comedian Jo Caulfield about her moving memoir The Funny Thing About Death, we get poisons, monsters and some secret lairs in Kathryn Harkup's Superspy Science and we take a trip during the Italian Renaissance with Maggie O'Farrell and her book, The Marriage Proposal. All that plus four new gems in the Talking Books library, one of which is narrated by Meryl Streep!
