Summary

Trish and Lorraine have a girl crush moment when they interview one of their favourite authors, Raynor Winn, about her latest book Landlines for this season’s book club episode. The million-selling writer of The Salt Path, which charts her journey from homelessness and financial disaster to starting over in midlife, discusses how to overcome fear when life seems to be falling apart, living with her husband Moth's incurable disease and the healing power of nature. And she reveals what happened when she met Gillian Anderson who plays Raynor in the film of her life, out next year.
