Hello Anna – it’s great to have you stopping by. I’ll post the second half of the interview on Tuesday so do come back then. The moment I came across Beatrice and the fact that she’d wanted to give her Cadbury inheritance back to the Cadbury workers I knew I had to write about her. It’s been a compulsion ever since to unravel that decision of hers!

I’m looking forward to the second half. Your own project sounds interesting. How did you come across Beatrice Cadbury and want to write about her?

I’m learning a lot fast… let’s leave it at that or I’ll be here all day.
Maybe I should blog it. (!)

I know about six words and that’s it. Dutch will be much easier.
Interesting take on writing lives and method acting… they *are* similar!
Glad you enjoyed the interview, Fed, especially as you missed Carole in person at the NAW show. How’s your own memoir going? Fiona x

It’s the total immersion aspect of non-fiction that I love. It’s like method acting, reading the description above made me think of method acting… all that time spent “getting into the skin” of your character. Such an amazing experience.
Great blog, Fiona.

I totally agree that it has to be a ‘gripping read’ and that way people will find their way to it whatever the size. Looking forward to the second instalment! best, t
