Caroline Sanderson and Louise Doughty My Family and Other Memories

How do we hold on to our loved ones after they are gone? The Bookseller editor Caroline Sanderson and novelist Louise Doughty discuss grief, love, and telling family stories that they've told through memoir. Sanderson’s Listen with Father recounts her journey reconnecting after his death with the classical music her father loved. In On This Spot Fell One Tear of Love, Doughty tells her parents’ love story in reverse, beginning at the end of their lives and tracing it back 50 years to the secret origin of their love affair.
