Wit and warmth on tap
THIS was the morning full of warmth from two delightfully engaging and witty women – Deborah Moggach and Helen Dunmore.
Host, James Nash, guided them delicately through their more sensuous pieces and the process of writing and the task of being a writer.
They got on like three mates enjoying cappucinos at an upmarket coffee house, the audience was like neighbouring customers eavesdropping on a more interesting conversation than their own.
Sex, bad language, latin, lust, poetry, prose, performance, film sets, grief, war and scandalous affairs weaved together seamlessly for more than an hour.
There were also readings. Moggach read from her latest novel In The Dark – about life on the home front during the First World War.
Dunmore treated another full-house to an excerpt from her novel about poet Cattulus Counting the Stars – and the title poem from her collection Glad of These Times.
Both women are best-sellers over the genres and the best of company for lovers of the written word. Sue Wilkinson
