Sara Sheridan
from My Life In Books with Red Szell · host Accessible Media Inc.
Join writer, broadcaster and blind adventurer Red Széll for the latest episode of AMI-audio’s My Life in Books. Each fortnight, Red invites you to join him in conversation with a renowned author about their work and the books that inspired them to write. Sara Sheridan is a Scottish author who writes historical novels based on the real-life stories of late Georgian and early Victorian explorers. She has also penned a highly successful series of cozy crime noir mysteries set in 1950s Brighton; and, in 2016, she founded a perfume brand called Reek, whose signature scent, Damn Rebel Bitches, has been called "the first feminist fragrance." "History is a treasure chest of stories,” she says, and her latest novel, The Fair Botanists, is built around a gem of a tale. Set in Edinburgh in 1822, it reimagines the suspense ahead of King George IV’s inaugural visit against the extraordinary background of a parade of full-grown trees being transported through the city on horse-drawn carts, from the old Botanical Garden to their new home. Join Sara and Red as they discuss Enlightenment-era Edinburgh: a hotbed of new money, grinding poverty, shrewd women and botanical espionage My Life in Books airs Mondays at 1 p.m. Eastern on AMI-audio, or download the podcast from your favourite provider via this link: https://www.ami.ca/My-Life-Books/recent_episodes About AMI AMI is a media company that entertains, informs and empowers Canadians with disabilities through three broadcast services — AMI-tv and AMI-audio in English and AMI-télé in French — and streaming platform AMI+.
