A L Kennedy: Small Kind Details

Spanning love and resilience in the face of a callous state, and abuses of patriarchal power by government, police, and those closer to home - A L Kennedy's latest novel, Alive in the Merciful Country, could hardly feel more timely. Kennedy (author, comedian, and longtime BBC radio writer and host) joins Zoe Venditozzi to discuss the real heart of her novel: the nature of justice and mercy, and the power of hope and kindness.
