Laura Pearson, novelist and founder of The Motherload Book Club, brings a list of her favourite books to Book Club. We talk about titles, whether there’s a right time to write about disasters, the importance of small presses… We also talk about Laura’s own writing and her novels, Missing Pieces and Nobody’s Wife, and the life-changing turn of events in Laura’s own life that led to her third novel, I Wanted You To Know.
