67: Chat with Laura Anthony

In this episode, I sit down with Laura Anthony, author of The Women on Platform Two, a moving and powerful novel inspired by a true story of women in 1970s Dublin who risked everything to fight for reproductive rights. We chat about Laura’s many pseudonyms (and why she writes under them!), her favorite things about living in Ireland, and what’s next for her writing.The Women on Platform Two weaves together past and present: in 1969, Maura and Bernie face devastating choices in a country where contraception is forbidden; in 2023, Saoirse begins to uncover just how hard-won today’s freedoms truly are. It’s an unforgettable story of courage, resilience, and the women who dared to change history.IG: @lauraanthonybooksBooks Laura Recommends:Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall and PS I Love You by Cecelia AhernBooks to Try of Laura's:The Secret Life of Beatrice Alright by Brooke HarrisUnder Lying by Janelle Harris
