Miranda Darling joins us, in conversation with Bookoccino’s Jo Yeldham, to discuss Thunderhead, her black comedy about one woman’s struggle to be free.

On the outside, Winona is a seemingly unremarkable young mother: unobtrusive, quietly going about her tasks. But within is a vivid, chaotic self, teeming with voices — a mind both wild and precise.

Miranda (above) is a writer, poet, and co-founder of Vanishing Pictures. She read English and Modern Languages at Oxford. Thunderhead is her fifth book. 

Jo Yeldham (below) is a photographer, a voracious reader and a recent addition to the Bookoccino team. 

Together the friends talk writing, the feminine and the importance of humour.

Monday 3 June from 6pm at Bookoccino (Tickets here)
