As presenter of Woman’s Hour for more than 20 years, Jenni Murray’s voice is as much a part of radio as the chimes of Big Ben. One of our most perceptive interviewers, now she turns the spotlight on herself to explain how the woman she became – broadcaster, campaigner and feminist – is everything her mother disliked. Murray’s touching book, Memoirs of a not so Dutiful Daughter, is based on the diary she kept as she struggled to nurse her dying mother and bridge the gulf between them. In an hour filled with courage, laughter and heartbreak, she speaks candidly about family tensions and the burdens of caring. An unmissable event that will appeal to every mother and daughter (and many sons), dutiful or not.
