Catherine Taylor - The Stirrings: A Memoir in Northern Time
Author Catherine Taylor was born in Waikato but grew up in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. She is a book critic and features writer for British and Irish newspapers. Last week Catherine was announced the winner of the TLS Ackerley Prize for memoir and life-writing for her new book The Stirrings: A Memoir in Northern Time. She'll be in New Zealand next month for Word Christchurch to talk about her book - which has been described as 'a superb, moving and disturbing memoir'. She is also appearing at VERB Wellington.
