AN HOUR WITH LIONEL SHRIVER - AWRF
Annie reports:

Lionel possesses a great voice, a voice straight from the theatre. Combine that with a fertile mind, an articulation not often heard, with true clarity of mind and thought and you have a recipe for a wonderful hour.
A large audience was captivated and energised. Each question put by an undaunted Charlotte Grimshaw was answered fully and energetically. I especially loved her reading from her recently published nove, So Much For That, which was perfectly placed in light of the previous discussion.



A most enjoyable session, paradoxical mabe in terms of the subject matter of the novel, a woman with a terminal illness and the relationships and problems with that..Also coming to grips with it the situation , in spite of this it was an engaging, provocative, thoughtful and lively session.
