Claire Thomson: Dear Grace

from Cooking the Books with Gilly Smith

This week, we’re celebrating Back To School and Uni season with Claire Thompson and her latest book, Dear Grace. This is a book unlike any Claire has written before. She wrote it while her heart was breaking as her eldest daughter, Grace, set off for university, and the letters from mother to daughter – and daughter to mother - about how to survive are a universal weep as fledglings all over the world spread their wings and head off into the big wide world. Pop over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites and a recipe from Dear Grace.
